PEBB newsletters mail May 22

The May issue of the PEBB employee For Your Benefit newsletter will be sent by mail and email on Wednesday, May 22. The issue contains important information about upcoming changes.

PEBB open enrollment will begin October 28 and end November 25

We’ve heard employees’ concerns about the challenges of making open enrollment changes at the end of November and during the Thanksgiving holiday. To ensure they have your support when making changes, the PEBB Program is moving open enrollment to October 28 through November 25, 2024 (instead of the month of November).

Vision benefit changes

This open enrollment, PEBB employees will need to elect separate vision plans for the first time. Employees will be able to choose from three vision plans:

Davis Vision by MetLife
EyeMed Vision Care
MetLife Vision

Reminder to set up a Benefits 24/7 account

This is the first open enrollment when employees will be using Benefits 24/7 to make changes to their coverage for 2025, including selecting a new vision plan. Employees will need to create a new login in Benefits 24/7 using SecureAccess Washington. We’re encouraging members to do this before open enrollment starts.
