Get Ready for 2016 Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is your opportunity to enroll in and/or make changes to your benefit plans and your covered dependents for the 2016 plan year. Open Enrollment begins October 26 and ends November 6. Because Open Enrollment is an important decision-making time, there are a few things you may need to do to be informed and ready to make your 2016 enrollment choices.

What to Do Now to Prepare for Open Enrollment

1. Be sure to update your home/mailing address in PeopleSoft Self Service. We will use your home mailing address to send you an Open Enrollment kit with important details about your 2016 benefits and a personalized benefits enrollment statement that lists the plans you will be eligible for and the 2016 plan costs.
2. Determine if you plan to add/or enroll any new dependents for coverage during Open Enrollment. Make certain you provide dependent relationship verification documentation for any new dependents you wish to enroll during Open Enrollment. It can take time to get your documentation together, so start early to make the deadline. Dependent Verification deadline is October 30.
3. Get Your Know Your Numbers Health Screening (KYN) if you are a Golden Health Plan Member. The screening will qualify plan members for a low 20% or 30% coinsurance level of coverage starting in 2016. The KYN health screening deadline is November 1 for Provant, the program administrator, to receive your completed screening form. Click here for program qualification details.
