Supplemental Insurance

In addition to your PEBA benefits, you have the opportunity to add supplemental coverage from Aflac.

Subscriber Effective Date

The date your state insurance coverage begins depends on the date you became eligible:

  • If eligible on the 1st calendar day of the month, coverage will begin on that same day.
  • If eligible on the 1st working day of the month, and it's not the 1st calendar day, coverage may start on the 1st day of that month, or the first day of the next month.
  • If eligible any time after the 1st working day of the month, coverage will begin on the 1st day of the next month.
