A retiree or a survivor who voluntarily terminates their enrollment in a medical plan also terminates all other health plan enrollment and enrollment for all eligible dependents. Once coverage is terminated, a retiree or a survivor may not enroll again in the future unless they reestablish eligibility for PEBB insurance coverage by becoming newly eligible. Deferring enrollment An enrolled retiree or survivor may defer enrollment in PEBB retiree insurance coverage at any time by submitting the request online using Benefits 24/7 (once available) or the PEBB Retiree Change Form (form E) along with any other required forms and supporting documents to the PEBB Program. Enrollment in PEBB retiree insurance coverage will be deferred effective the first of the month following the date the request is received online or by the PEBB Program. If the request is received on the first day of the month, enrollment will be deferred effective that day. When a retiree, a survivor, or their dependent is enrolled in a Medicare Advantage or Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug plan, medical plan enrollment will be deferred the first of the month following the date the PEBB Medicare Advantage Plan Disenrollment Form (form D) is received.
