Benefit recipients including retirees and members receiving a disability retirement and their dependents (up to age 26), in the retirement systems below. As a surviving spouse, you must enroll in the plan through the normal enrollment process.
No, all programs are offered directly through the North Carolina Retirement Systems.
This depends on the type of coverage you have and who your coverage is with. You should contact your Health Benefit Representative at your worksite to learn about your options.
Remember to perform a dual coverage double check to make sure you are choosing coordinating options and receiving the benefits you need with the right level of financial commitment for your specific life situation. Dual coverage on benefits such as Dental, Vision and Identity Theft Protection may create duplicate benefits causing claims to not be paid as expected. If you have questions about deductions for these benefits, please call Pierce Insurance at 855-627-3847.
You may need to continue your current plan(s) through COBRA until your North Carolina Retirement Systems plans are effective. Your Health Benefit Representative can advise you on your options.
