50,000 enrollees in Nevada's Police Employees' Benefit Program (PEBP) are facing a potential health insurance premium hike, with some paying double their current rates, according to a letter from the union president, Dan Gordon. This issue is more significant than most realize, as PEBP impacts state employees, their families, retirees, and even some Nevada System of Higher Education workers and county government employees. The union is sounding the alarm, advocating for change, transparency, and oversight, as the system is projected to become insolvent by 2028. But here's where it gets controversial: the proposal to double premiums is not yet set in stone, and the union is urging stakeholders to attend the upcoming board meeting to discuss this matter further. Will this impact Nevada's ability to retain and recruit employees? The union is determined to find out, and they're inviting everyone to join the conversation.
