Health Benefits Trust
At the League, we’re here for your employee health insurance needs.
The Health Benefits Trust (HBT) is a self-insured pool sponsored by the North Carolina League of Municipalities (NCLM). It provides employer group health benefits paid by the employer, as well as medical, dental, vision and disability for North Carolina local government entities. Local governmental entities include cities, towns, villages, counties, housing authorities, water and sewer districts, councils of government, transit authorities, ABC boards, regional libraries of North Carolina, and other eligible municipal organizations.
Grant Funding Opportunities
The Health Benefits Trust provides funding to support participants in the development or enhancement of worksite and Employee Assistance Programs.
An Employee Assistance Program (EAP) provides FREE, confidential, short-term counseling to troubled employees and their family members experiencing personal difficulties. It is also a great resource for supervisors to talk to trained consultants to help advise them in dealing most effectively with employee job performance issues. EAPs improve employee lives and saves employers' money by addressing personal problems showing up on the job.
Funding is limited and is available on a first-respond, first-approved basis. Payment is based on the number of fulltime employees covered by the Health Benefits Trust.
