Are You Almost 65?

If you’re a PSERS retiree nearing your 65th birthday, we want to ensure that you fully understand the benefits available to you through the Health Options Program.

We send out an information packet four to nine months before your 65th birthday. These packets are mailed twice a year—in the winter for those turning 65 in the first half of the following year, and in the spring for those turning 65 in the second half. The packet includes a detailed description of the medical and prescription drug benefits under the Health Options Program, along with a personalized statement that outlines your specific monthly premiums for all coverage options.

Additionally, we host webinars several times a year. These virtual group information sessions are a great way to learn more about the Health Options Program and to get your questions answered. You can check our website for the schedule of live webinars. If you can’t attend a live session, don’t worry—you can watch a recorded one at your convenience.

Another fantastic resource is our virtual benefits fair. This website provides more information about the Health Options Program from our partners and highlights all the great benefits available to you as a PSERS retiree. Visit discoverHOPbenefits.com to explore more. We look forward to helping you make the most of your retirement benefits!
