PEBP Open Enrollment Period for Health Coverage: Key Dates and Information

The open enrollment period for the Public Employees Benefits Program (PEBP) health coverage and Nevada System of Higher Education (NSHE) voluntary benefits continues until May 31. It's crucial to note that PEBP and University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV) benefits representatives will be unavailable for inquiries on May 30 and 31, as these are weekend days. Therefore, participants are advised to reach out for assistance by May 29. Any changes for Plan Year 2027 will be effective starting July 1.

Participants must submit changes via the e-PEBP portal by May 31 and ensure that supporting documents are filed by June 15. Late submissions will only be processed during the next open enrollment or following a qualifying life event. Those who wish to maintain their current PEBP group health insurance plan need no action. Employees can enhance their understanding by watching the pre-recorded Open Enrollment webinar on the PEBP website. NSHE participants must finalize their enrollment in Workday by May 31.

For further information, NSHE provides various resources, including webinars and both virtual and in-person sessions hosted by UNLV, the College of Southern Nevada (CSN), and Nevada State University (NSU) benefits teams. Specific details are accessible via the UNLV Open Enrollment website under Information Sessions. An upcoming Open Enrollment Benefits and RebelWELL Wellness Health Fair is scheduled for May 12 at the Student Union, offering an opportunity to interact with healthcare vendors and receive guidance on benefits and wellness.
