2023 Premium Assistance Verification

The Premium Assistance Verification process has begun and reports have been mailed to Business Managers of the Commonwealth School Employers. These listings represent monthly Premium Assistance payments made to retirees as a reimbursement of premiums they have paid toward the cost of their own basic medical coverage under your plan. The Internal Revenue Service requires PSERS to verify each year that premiums were actually paid by retirees receiving this reimbursement. PSERS is requesting that employers verify premiums paid during the 2023 calendar year. In order to ensure there is no interruption in Premium Assistance to your plan participants, please complete and return the report to PSERS by March 29, 2024. Questions regarding the 2023 Premium Assistance Verification process should be directed to the Premium Assistance Unit at 1.866.483.5509 or via email at hopadminunithb@luminarehealth.com.

Your timely assistance in verifying these payments is appreciated.
