Only University and/or State of Oregon years of service count toward the RHIPA (non-Medicare) subsidy. Only years of service as while a PERS member counts. Must immediately retire from PERS after terminating employment to be eligible for the RHIPA subsidy.
  • If both spouses are PERS University and/or State of Oregon retirees, it may be more beneficial to enroll in the PERS plans separately to take advantage of the subsidies.
