Post-Employment Health Plan (PEHP)

The Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) is designed to help employees defray the cost of health care after separation from County service. There are two different types of PEHP accounts offered by the County and your account type is determined by your bargaining unit.  When you retire or separate from County service, you can submit claims for qualified medical expenses to be reimbursed by the funds in your PEHP account.

If you require an employer signature on your PEHP Claim Form, please route the form to the County Payroll Team. You can email it to Payroll at [email protected].
