GIC Post-Employment Benefits
The Commonwealth provides certain insurance benefits for employees who terminate employment with the state and meet specific age and service requirements. These “post-employment” benefits include:
- Health care;
- Group life insurance; and
- Dental coverage.
Former employees’ survivors may be eligible for these benefits too.
The Group Insurance Commission (GIC) administers the post-employment benefits. You can go directly to the GIC website 
for information about their insurance coverages and premium rates.
Employees who are eligible for post-employment benefits may access them under one of these two statuses:
- Deferred Retiree; and
- Retiree.
The ORP Plan Administrator determines participants’ eligibility and status for post-employment benefits. This information is updated and reported to the Group Insurance Commission monthly.
