If you like your current plan, you can sign up for it again. However, remember—you must enroll to receive benefits for 2023. Your 2022 benefits will NOT roll over.
So what are the changes? Here are a few highlights:
Open Enrollment is Novemer 8, 2022 through November 18, 2022.
Remember, you will have to actively enroll if you want your coverage to continue and be effective on January 1, 2023.
Certain benefits, such Health Savings Accounts (HSA), Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) and Dependent Care FSAs require action on your part based on IRS rules. All staff need to either enroll or waive enrollment in short or long-term disability, as this is a new plan.
First-time members in the Plan and returning members who want to make a change can review their options and make the choices that best serve their needs. For benefits such as life insurance we encourage all staff to update their beneficiaries.
Disability coverage will now be provided by The Hartford Financial Services Group (The Hartford). You have a choice of short-term (STD) or long-term (LTD) coverages. If you choose STD, you will have coverage for 90 days, which includes a 14-day waiting period.
If you want coverage beyond 90 days, you need to also enroll in LTD.
