About Health Insurance

Payees may be eligible to have their premiums for health benefits automatically subtracted from their monthly retirement allowance.

Health benefits for a payee who is receiving his/her retirement allowance based upon employment with the State of Maryland or the University System of Maryland are administered by the Health Benefits Division of the Department of Budget and Management​. If you have any questions about the health benefits you may be eligible to receive and how to apply call 410-767-4775 or 1-800-307-8283.

Otherwise you should contact your former employer’s personnel or human resources office.
