The basic and supplemental plan includes a Conversion Privilege which allows employees to convert to an individual policy in the event they lose eligibility status, take a leave of absence, or separate from State service. This conversion will provide for coverage up to the face amount of the group policy.
If the employee retires, they can make arrangements with MetLife to have premiums deducted from their PERS check. The employee must contact MetLife at 1-800-252-8524 within 31 days of retiring.
