In partnership with the state's public employers, PEBA helps ensure that public employers can offer their employees comprehensive insurance coverage at a cost that is responsive to their employees' needs and is equitable to all stakeholders. The programs PEBA offers can help provide a financial safety net when you are ill or injured by sharing in the cost of your medical care and can help you find ways to live a healthier, and, we hope, happier life.
