Open enrollment

PEBP and NSHE open enrollment is May 16 through May 31

This is the time during the year to evaluate your PEBP Health Insurance benefits and to make changes to your current plan options and/or dependent coverage, if necessary. Any changes made during the PEBP Open Enrollment Period will become effective July 1. If you do not make any changes to your PEBP Insurance enrollment, your current plan options and dependent coverage will continue and you will pay the associated premium.
