“In this time of unprecedented uncertainty, we pushed our health plans even harder to get the lowest premiums possible” said Rob Feckner, Chair of the CalPERS Board Pension and Health Benefits Committee.
The premiums will take effect January 1, 2021, and CalPERS members can change health plans during the annual Open Enrollment period, September 21 to October 16, 2020.
