Election Package Overview

In September 2021, the Pennsylvania Commonwealth Court issued an order approving a Rehabilitation Plan for SHIP (“Approved Rehabilitation Plan”). As part of the implementation of the Approved Rehabilitation Plan, most policyholders had a decision to make about changes to their policy’s premium rates and benefits.

Most policyholders received their Election Packages and submitted their Coverage Election Forms in 2022. The remaining Election Packages were mailed to other policyholders during 2023, 2024, and 2025. There are no additional Election Package mailings required. The Election Packages included a step-by-step guide to assist policyholders in making their decision, information explaining personalized options available to each policyholder, and an election form with a self-addressed stamped envelope that must be returned to SHIP. 

 

In addition to the Election Package materials mailed to policyholders, SHIP is pleased to provide policyholders, family members, and trusted advisors additional helpful resources in this Election Package section of our website to further assist policyholders in making their important decisions.
