Benefits Enrollment Now Available

Our annual benefit enrollment is now open to all full-time and 96-day employees from through April 30, 2015 at 4:00 p.m. for the 2015-16 year benefit year, which begins July 1, 2015. Full-time employees may enroll in health and dental insurance and medical flex spending plans, while part-time staff (96-day) may only be enroll in medical flex spending. (Note: This enrollment period is not for enrollment in the dependent care plan, which is done in November.) We will need your enrollment selections even if you choose not to make any changes to your benefits for next year. This is the time that you can add and/or drop family members to your health and dental plans without a life event or change of status.

Enrollment can be completed through the Employee Online tab on the Employee Dashboard. If you are having trouble enrolling, log out of Employee Online and then log in before you start the enrollment process. This helpful tip and more can be found in the enrollment instructions attachment, which now includes how to print off your benefit statement!

VOYA Life Insurance Enrollment During our annual benefit enrollment, employees who didn’t opt for additional life insurance coverage through VOYA can also enroll. Please complete the enrollment form and submit it to Juliette Houseman. Existing employees who are enrolling for the first time will be required to fill out an Evidence of Insurability form. Existing employees who are already enrolled but who want to increase their coverage may also do so at this time. Existing employees may increase their coverage, but if they choose to increase it over $10,000, they will be required to fill out an Evidence of Insurability form. Enrollment will be during April but will be effective on July 1, 2015. 

If you have any questions, contact Juliette Houseman, Benefits Specialist, at jhouseman@heartlandaea.org or ext. 14315.
