Charleston, W. Va. – The West Virginia Department of Administration’s Public Employees Insurance Agency (PEIA) kicked off the open enrollment period for public employees, retirees, and their families this week. Running from April 2, 2025, to May 15, 2025, this period allows individuals to review and adjust their health insurance coverage without a qualifying event.
During the open enrollment period, participants can add or remove dependents, change coverage levels, or switch plans to best suit their healthcare needs. The PEIA offers a variety of plan options, including medical, prescription drug, dental, and vision coverage. Employees are encouraged to carefully review their benefits and consider any changes in their healthcare needs.
“We hope all eligible employees and retirees will take advantage of the open enrollment period to ensure they have the best coverage for themselves and their families,” said Eric Householder, cabinet secretary of the Department of Administration. “PEIA is hosting seven benefit fairs statewide to ensure employees have the information they need to make informed decisions about their healthcare benefits for the upcoming year.”
During the benefit fairs, employees will have the opportunity to speak with representatives from PEIA, The Health Plan, Mountaineer Flexible Benefits, SunLife, and Humana. To view a schedule of the benefit fairs, click here.
Additionally, online resources are available to public employees, including an updated PEIA Benefits Guide, to assist members in making their selections. Employees can also contact PEIA Customer Solutions at 304-558-7850 or PEIA.Help@wv.gov for support during the enrollment period.
To make changes or review plan details, members can go to peia.wv.gov and click on the “Manage My Benefits” button or contact their HR representative for guidance.
