Benefits Open Enrollment

 

September 10 - October 5, 2012

Open Enrollment is the annual opportunity for benefits eligible employees to review benefit and premium information for the upcoming plan year (2013 calendar year) in order to evaluate and make any necessary enrollment changes. 
During open enrollment you can enroll, change, or cancel the following benefits:

  • Health
  • Dental
  • Vision
  • Voluntary Benefits Plans
  • Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA)
  • Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA)
  • FlexCash

Effective date for all changes made during open enrollment will be January 1, 2013.

Open Enrollment is also the period when employees can enroll or re-enroll in the Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA). IRS rules require re-enrollment each tax year to participate in HCRA and/or DCRA. Additional information is available regarding these accounts on the Benefits website at:  Flexible Benefit Programs:  HCRA/ DCRA .
