If I am responsible for any premiums, how will the deductions work with my PERS check?
You will receive your pension check from PERS at the end of each month. Insurance premiums are deducted one month in advance. For example, the premium deducted from the PERS Pension check in January is to pay for February’s premium; February’s deduction pays for March’s premium, etc.
Upon your initial retirement, you will be responsible for submitting your portion of the first month’s insurance premium to Human Resources along with the completed Retiree Health Benefits Enrollment form. The exact amounts (which are sometimes pro-rated) will be calculated for you by our Benefits Specialist.
