Due to the threat of COVID-19, PEBA will close our Visitor Center beginning March 19, 2020, until further notice. This is in response to the directive we received from Governor McMaster to take proactive measures to help safeguard the health and safety of our workplace. Members are encouraged to take advantage of PEBA’s online tools.

For insurance subscribers, MyBenefits   is the fastest, most convenient way for subscribers covered by PEBA-administered insurance programs to manage your benefits. MyBenefits also ensures speedy transmission of your coverage changes to our third-party claims processors.

Member Access   is the online resource that allows you, as a member of a PEBA-administered retirement plan, to view and update the personal information on file for your retirement account and conduct online transactions such as applying for your service retirement or a refund of contributions.

If you participate in the State Optional Retirement Program (State ORP), you may contact your service provider for questions about your State ORP account.

If you participate in the South Carolina Deferred Compensation Program (Deferred Comp), you may log in to your Deferred Comp account   or call Empower Retirement at 877.457.6263.

Our Customer Service Center is also available to assist you from 8:30 a.m. until 5 p.m., Monday through Friday. You can reach the Contact Center by calling 803.737.6800 or 888.260.9430.
