CHARLESTON — The PEIA — Public Employees Insurance Agency — Task Force has mapped out a series of public hearings all over West Virginia.
One will be in Morgantown June 8.
The public hearings at a total of 21 locations began May 1 and continue through June 11.
The idea is for members of the task force to hear people’s experiences with the insurance program for public employees. The broader mission of the task force is to figure out ways to shore up the insurance program’s finances.
Members of the task force have said the public hearings will be streamed live or made available later on video.
The American Federation of Teachers-West Virginia released the schedule.
The task force was created following the teacher walkout earlier this year.
