The Public Employees Benefits Board, created within the Washington State Health Care Authority, votes to approve these areas for the Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) program:
- Sets eligibility requirements;
- Approves premium contributions for eligible employees (these may vary for employees of K-12 school districts and certain employer groups); and
- Approves benefits of all participating health insurance plans.
The Board has nine members appointed by the Governor, seven of whom are voting members.
Contact the Board if you have questions about the PEBB meeting schedule, agenda, or minutes.

Statement of Commitment
As a public entity appointed by the Governor, the Public Employees Benefits Board actively seeks input from the public at large, and particularly from the more than 300,000 Washington residents for whom we determine benefits and program eligibility.
The Board encourages input from enrollees and the general public in the form of letters, emails, and other means of communication. In addition, the Board sets aside time during its meetings to receive public input. At all times, and in all means of communication, the Board is committed to maintaining open and respectful interaction with the public and with PEBB enrollees.
