Similarities Subtitles are Part of Title Field, then Modified Manually (see next page) • Active enrollee counts near 110,000 for each program • Expenditures relatively comparable ($1.2B) • Employee contributions similar • 16% for K-12 from HayGroup study • 15% prospectively for PEB • (not entirely apples to apples, but in the same ballpark) • Core coverage offered is similar • Collective bargaining is an important part of the process
Benefit Offerings • Range of Medical Benefits (defined by actuarial value) • PEB has fairly narrow range of plan offerings (5%) • K-12 has a much wider range (40%) • Current K-12 open enrollment showing a shift to leaner plans • Vision Benefit • A component of the medical plan in PEB • Variety of stand-alone plan offerings in K-12 • Dental, Life and LTD Benefits • Greater variation in K-12 • In K-12 non-medical benefits are mandatory, if offered to a particular bargaining unit
Eligibility • PEB • 0.5 FTE for active state employees • For Political Subdivisions, employer defined • Policy change as of 1/1/10 • K-12 • Varies by district and bargaining group • FTE may be 1440 hours or hours per week • Many employees eligible with <0.5 FTE status

Funding Subtitles are Part of Title Field, then Modified Manually (see next page) • PEB • $850 state funding rate for state active employees • For active employees, state funding and employee contributions are the only funding sources • K-12 • $768 state funding rate for a formula driven FTE count • A combination of employee contributions, local levy, federal and other sources make up the difference
