Open Enrollment Update
Employees who are benefit eligible will receive an Open Enrollment e-mail at the beginning of November which will give them the opportunity to either confirm that they would like to continue with their current coverage or elect to change their current coverage. The e-mail will include renewal rates for 2013, a link to the online enrollment/confirmation sites, and information on all of our coverage options. This year all enrollment for Flexible Spending accounts will be processed directly through our Flexible Spending vendor at www.Flex-Plan.com. Human resources will not be sending out paper forms this year.
