Excellence in Education

•  You may enroll in the Office of Group Benefits (OGB) program if you are a full-time employee currently working a full semester or more.

• New Employees:
  Health coverage becomes effective 30 days after the 1st of the following month. (i.e. If your hire date is August seventh, your insurance will not be effective until October first.)

• Late Applicants:
  I f you have a qualifying event sign up by the 14th of any month and Insurance is effective the following month. Insurance premiums are deducted from your paycheck the prior month of the effective date.  Legal documentation is required for all qualifying event.  You have 30 days from the qualifying event date to make changes to your policy.

The amount of your premium depends on the number of years you’ve had insurance cover-age. If you were enrolled with OGB (formally known as the State Employees Group Benefits Program) prior to November 14, 2001, then you are vested with OGB and your premium will be subsidized 75% by the State. If you were not vested by this time, then the percentage of State Subsidy is reduced depending on the number of years you carried health insurance prior to retirement.

When you retire you may keep the health insurance through OGB. As a courtesy to the retiree, TRSL and LSERS will deduct your Health & State offered Life Insurance from your retirement check; however, it takes several months for this to occur. In the mean-time, you will pay LPPS until you see the insurance deduction from your retirement.
