Not Enrolled

An ORP participant is considered to be “Not Enrolled” when they meet the Insurance Commission’s requirements for post-employment benefits but do not purchase any coverages from the Commission.

Special Note: Participants who are “Not Enrolled” may draw funds from the ORP at any time. However, they must leave a minimum amount in the plan to preserve their eligibility for post-employment benefits. Go to Preserving Eligibility to learn about the minimum requirements.

Status Change: A “Not Enrolled” participant may change their status to these other statuses at a future date:

  • “Deferred Retiree”: if they purchase insurance coverages from the Commission (no Retiree Income required);

  • “Retiree”: upon meeting the eligibility requirements for this status; and

  • “Not Eligible”: if they remove all assets from the plan.

 

Please note: As of March 10, 2008, the office of the Massachusetts Board of Higher Education
was renamed the Massachusetts Department of Higher Education. The name change will be integrated into
prior existing website content gradually over the next few months.
