Open enrollment begins Tuesday, November 8 and continues through Tuesday, November 22, 2016.
Two credits are available again this year for a medical insurance premium reduction (to lower your bi-weekly medical premiums that are deducted from your paycheck). First is the health assessment with biometric screening for a $500 premium credit. Second is given if the employee and spouse (if carried on the plan) are nicotine free, for another $500 premium credit.
We will have Open Enrollment Informational Meetings this year and we are encouraging all employees to attend. Each meeting is scheduled for 1.5 hours to include time for questions. Below is a list of the meetings.
No need to sign up for a meeting. You can just plan to attend one that fits your schedule.
