PEBB Insurance Providers Information About Seeking Care for COVID-19 - Coronavirus:
-
PEBB adopted an administrative rule specific to eligibility requirements to assist qualifying employees with benefit eligibility challenges related to not meeting related hours requirements during the COVID-19 Pandemic. This rule was originally temporary. However, since the Pandemic emergency continues PEBB incorporated this into their permanent rules. It is located here. Once the Pandemic emergency ends PEBB will repeal the rule. Update March 30, 2022: PEBB notified OSU that this rule will be repealed effective April 1, 2022 in conjunction with the lifting of Executive Order 20-03. Please contact [email protected] with questions.
- The PEBB Temporary Rule Form to cancel optional benefits is available among PEBB forms and is titled Temporary COVID-19 cancellation and reinstatement (form # MSC 5565).
