This extension was granted because of the late date many employees received their open enrollment materials and the effect hurricane Georges had on several groups of state employees. All changes now must be made by 5 p.m. on October 23. Employees who do not respond will have their current enrollment status continue for state health, state life, and supplemental insurance plans.
Employees can determine their current benefits by reviewing a list sent to their home address.
Medical and dependent day care reimbursement accounts and the pre-tax waiver for health or life insurance premiums must be renewed each year during open enrollment. This year, no verification letters of changes made during open enrollment will be mailed. Personnel satellite offices also are available to help employees with the open enrollment process.
