The state fund that pays health insurance claims for state workers is running out of money, and state officials are taking “immediate action” to keep it from going broke by the spring, The Atlanta Journal-Constitution has learned.
The State Health Benefit Plan, which pays health insurance claims for 680,000 state workers, retirees and their dependents, has seen its surplus of more than $472 million greatly reduced by budget cuts and work force reductions, said Lisa Marie Shekell, spokeswoman for the state Department of Community Health.
