Open Enrollment is Sept. 3-Oct. 18, 2002. Enrollment actions taken during this time become effective January 1, 2003.
Dental Benefits: If you want to enroll, change plans, add or delete dependents to your coverage, or cancel your dental enrollment, you must submit a Dental Plan Enrollment Authorization form to your personnel office by Oct. 18, 2002. Click here for details of your State dental plan choices, rates, and a link to the form (Std. 692).
You dont need to take any action if you want to keep your current dental plan choice.
FlexElect Reimbursement Accounts: A reimbursement account allows you to set aside money from your paycheck pretax to reimburse yourself for certain out-of-pocket expenses. Two types of accounts are available through the FlexElect program: one for medical expenses, the other for dependent care expenses.
To enroll in an account for 2003 (even if you currently have an account), you must submit a Reimbursement Account Enrollment Authorization form to your personnel office by Oct. 18, 2002.
The FlexElect handbook explains the program details, including how a reimbursement account saves you money on your taxes.
A link to the reimbursement account enrollment form (Std. 701R) is available on our FlexElect main page.
Cash Options: If you have health and/or dental coverage through your spouse or another source, you may opt to receive taxable cash in your paycheck in lieu of these benefits. If youre currently enrolled in a cash option and want to continue receiving it next year, you dont need to take any action unless youre a Permanent-Intermittent (PI) employee. PI employees who want to continue receiving their cash option must re-enroll during open enrollment.
