Although the Benefit Statement provides information on all benefits, including state and university plans, Benefit Choice period changes are for state plans only. One of the best features about making Benefit Choice changes through Nessie is that once you have made a change, you will receive instant verification and documentation of the change to your UI e-mail address. To access Nessie and the Benefit Choice application, you will need a Net ID and a secure password. Follow the onscreen instructions to make your Benefit Choice changes. Again this year you have the option to change your health or dental plan by phone.
Some restrictions apply.
The telephone enrollment system also cannot be used to add dependents for coverage. If you are interested in changing your enrollment by phone, be sure to read Pages 40-43 of the Benefit Choice Options booklet. There you will find complete instructions and a worksheet that help ensure you have all the information required prior to calling. You can call back immediately and hear that your change has been recorded by the telephone enrollment system. CMS will send a verification of your change to your home address.
