Any covered member who terminates employment before becoming eligible for early retirement, disability, or regular retirement, but has adequate creditable service for vested benefits under the provision of a State of Oklahoma retirement system and the eligible member's covered dependents, may continue to participate in coverage for health, dental, and life insurance.  The coverage must be in force continuously, and all premiums must be remitted monthly.  A request for this coverage must be noted on the Oklahoma Public Employees Retirement System (OPERS) Form 515-11887VB, Application for Vested Benefit, within 30 days of the date of severance.  The Oklahoma State Employees and Education Group Insurance  Board (OSEEGIB) staff serves these members as insurance coordinator.
