Please remember that in order to continue with benefits for 2019 you do have to complete one of the above steps for enrollment, either self-enroll, via phone or in person.  You do not have to meet with a benefits counselor if you do not qualify for benefits.  This year the health insurance rates were calculated based on plan utilization, please see the Employee Benefits – 2019 below for the rates.  As you will notice on the attachment the health insurance rates did increase along with the dental insurance, in both cases this was due to utilization.  I will be emailing the 2019 users guides to all employees as soon as they become available, so please watch for them. 

If you have any questions about this process or about scheduling a meeting time, please feel free to contact Human Resources.
