Earn $60 Per Month off your 2026 Monthly Benefit Contribution
The Live Life Well (LLW) Incentive has increased! You can now earn $60 per month off your monthly State Plan benefit contribution in 2026! Double your LLW Incentive if a covered spouse or domestic partner also earns the LLW Incentive.
You must complete all 3 activities - State-sponsored Health Screening, self-report Nicotine Free status or completion of an alternative, and self-report completion of an Eligible Provider Visit between November 1, 2024 and October 31, 2025 to earn a LLW Incentive for 2026.

If you choose to participate in the LLW incentive program, you will be asked to complete a voluntary health risk assessment that asks questions about your health-related activities and whether you have or had certain medical conditions (e.g. cancer, diabetes, or heart disease). You will also be asked to obtain a voluntary blood test for certain conditions (e.g. cholesterol). If you choose to participate, you will receive a reduction in your bi-weekly employee contribution. If you are unable to participate in any of the health-related activities of the LLW incentive program, you may qualify for a reasonable accommodation to earn the incentive. To request an accommodation, contact the Health Care & Benefits Division (HCBD) at
The information collected from your health-related activities will be used to help you understand your current health and potential risks and to offer you services.
