Long Term Care Plan Health Care Benefits PERS offers comprehensive hospital and medical benefits. This leaflet outlines what is available under the PERS health care plan.
All information is subject to change.
The application for retirement contains a section on health care coverage. Once this section is filled out and returned to PERS, health care materials are mailed to the applicant. PERS benefit recipients are only eligible for health care coverage from one account through the Ohio retirement systems. Dependents must be covered by the same health care plan under which the benefit recipient is covered. When applying for age and service retirement a person must have 10 years of Ohio service credit to qualify for the PERS health care plan.
