What is the PSERS Health Options Program (HOP)?
The Pennsylvania Public School Employees’ Retirement System (PSERS) sponsors the Health Options Program (HOP) for the sole benefit of PSERS retirees, their spouses or surviving spouses, and their dependents. HOP is a voluntary program, and each retiree must decide whether or not to participate. HOP is funded exclusively by the premiums paid by its participants for the benefit coverage they elect.
