PEBA offers retirement employer training online. The Covered Employer Procedures Manual is a great resource with more information.
PEBA is developing a new benefits administration system, called PEBA:Connect. When the new system is deployed, participating employers will experience significant changes in administering PEBA benefits. This means you will learn a new way to conduct business with PEBA. A large component of the project will be dedicated to training employers on how to use the system prior to go-live. Our objective is to make conducting business with PEBA easier and more efficient.

Request a one-on-one virtual meeting
Employers can request a one-on-one virtual meeting with an Employer Services staff member for assistance with administering PEBA retirement benefits. Meetings are scheduled based on availability.
To make the most of your appointment, please be prepared with any issues or questions. We also encourage you to gather examples or screenshots in advance of your meeting. To request a virtual meeting, complete this online form. We will contact you via email to schedule the meeting.
