OLYMPIA - The Health Care Authority's Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) Program started its annual open enrollment on November 1, which allows state employees and retirees to make changes to their health coverage for 2012. PEBB members can learn more about changes to their health coverage for next year and speak with PEBB staff, health plan representatives, and other vendors at three upcoming benefits fairs in the Olympia area.
Details of the benefit fairs:
| Tumwater November 4, 2011 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Department of Labor & Industries Auditorium 7273 Linderson Way SW |
Olympia November 14, 2011 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. General Administration Building (Capitol Campus) 210 11th Avenue SW |
| Lacey November 7, 2011 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Lacey Community Center, Banquet Rooms A and B 6729 Pacific Avenue |

The annual open enrollment period continues through November 30. State employees and non-Medicare retirees can select from new coverage plans—including consumer-directed health plans with health savings accounts-or choose to continue with their current plans in 2012. More information is available on the PEBB Program's website at www.pebb.hca.wa.gov.
