SUBJECT: Availability of Retirement Video

Benefits ... Get Serious

________________________________________________________________

GENERAL We are pleased to announce the availability 

of the video "Benefits ... Get Serious". 

This 12-minute video developed by our office

emphasizes the flexibility in the Federal

employee benefits package to meet employees'

needs throughout their lives, and through

life events such as marriage, the arrival of

children, or divorce.

The video focuses on the retirement, health

insurance, and life insurance components of

the benefits package. It points out that,

while some changes occur automatically,

others require employees to take action--

sometimes within certain timeframes.

The video is intended for use either as part

of employee briefings or for viewing by

individual employees. 

The reactions of agency benefits officers

who previewed the video have been very

positive. They say that it is well done,

has an appropriate amount of technical

information, and enough entertainment value

to keep people's attention. An opencaptioned version is available.
