Posted: Thursday, January 17, 2019Health Insurance Option Transfer Period Ends Tomorrow
The Health Insurance Option Transfer Period ends tomorrow, January 18. If you wish to change your health insurance plan, you must do so before the close of business tomorrow. Health insurance rates for 2019 have been established and are available on the Employee Benefits website.
We encourage you to complete the option transfer form (PDF, 78 KB) and return it to Cleveland Hall 410 before 5:00 p.m. tomorrow. Coverage changes will be effective December 27, 2018. The earliest paycheck in which a deduction change will be reflected is the check of December 12. Based on payroll deadlines, deduction changes related to an option transfer may be made in a future paycheck and will include adjustments retroactive to the beginning of the plan year. This will result in retroactive premium adjustments.
The 2019 “Choices” booklet (PDF, 1.4 MB), a comparison of the health insurance plans, and an Empire Plan supplement (PDF, 790 KB) is also available online. You may wish to review this information before you decide whether to change insurance carriers or remain with your current carrier for your health insurance coverage.
No action is required if you wish to keep your current health insurance option.
Please call the Employee Benefits Office at 878-4821 with questions.
