Information for Retiree Late Enrollment
Per NRS 287.0475, a retired public officer or employee of the State, NSHE, a participating local government, or the surviving spouse thereof, may reinstate insurance during the open enrollment period if the retired public officer or employee did not have more than one period during which he or she was not covered under the PEBP Plan on or after October 1, 2011, or on or after the date of his or her retirement, whichever is later. Meaning, the above individuals will only have one opportunity to rejoin a PEBP Plan following retirement.
In accordance with NRS 287.0475, a retired public officer or employee who retired from a nonparticipating local governmental agency or the surviving spouse thereof, may reinstate insurance during the open enrollment period through the Medicare Exchange or under the Public Employees’ Benefits Program if eligible, if the retired public officer or employee (1) did not have more than one period during which he or she was not covered by insurance under the Program on or after October 1, 2011; (2) was enrolled in the Program as a retiree on November 30, 2008; and (3) is enrolled in Medicare Parts A and B at the time of the request for reinstatement.
To enroll as a late enrollee, contact PEBP between April 15th and May 15th to request the retiree late enrollment form. All reinstatement applications are subject to the provisions of the Plan. Approved enrollment for reinstated retirees will become effective July 1st. Reinstated retirees are not eligible for basic life insurance coverage through the PEBP. Requests for reinstatement must be completed through the submission of the required forms to the PEBP office not later than 31 days before the commencement of the plan year.
