Employee Benefits

Board Information

Due to Act 1004 of 2021, the duties of the State and Public-School Life and Health Insurance Board have been transferred to the State Board of Finance to develop further health and life insurance benefits for State and Public School employees and retirees. Additionally, The Employee Benefits Division has the added assistance of the State and Public School Health Benefits Advisory Commissions due to Act 114 of 2022. 

Through this transition, the Department of Transformation and Shared Services: Employee Benefits Division (TSS EBD) is committed to ensuring the long-term viability of health insurance and other products for employees, retirees, and their families. Although the division’s governance has changed, the mission remains the same: to ensure that members receive quality health care at an affordable cost while promoting exceptional customer service, education, and accessibility.

Members with questions or concerns regarding the impact of Act 1004 are encouraged to contact TSS EBD by phone at 877-815-1017 (press 1, then 2), or via email at AskEBD@arkansas.gov.
