PEHP is an employee account, funded by the County, for use after the employee's separation from the County and specifically for health insurance premiums.
- To be eligible for PEHP, an employee must be regular full-time or part-time working at least 22.5 hours per week, and have completed twelve (12) months of continuous employment with the Lake County Board of County Commissioners.
- An amount equal to one per cent (1%) of the employee's regular pay will be contributed by the County to a Post Employment Health Plan (PEHP) account.
- Upon leaving employment, one fourth (1/4) of accrued sick time leave, up to a maximum of 480 hours will also be paid to the employee's PEHP account, if eligibility requirements have been met. Employees having completed ten (10) years of service when leaving employment, will have their PEHP account paid for one-half (1/2) of accrued sick leave, up to a maximum of 960 hours.
- Upon separation from the County, eligible employees will be able to use the funds in their PEHP account to pay for health insurance premiums.
