SUBJECT:  FLEXELECT BROCHURE AND VIDEO - PLAN YEAR 1995
     
     
     FlexElect Brochure
     
     The Department of Personnel Administration (DPA), Benefits and Training Division is
     currently preparing for the FlexElect Open Enrollment (September 1-30, 1994) for Plan
     Year 1995.  We are revising the FlexElect Brochure which will be distributed to
     departments in August.  In order to contain costs, we are asking departments to pre-order
     the brochures based on an estimate of interested employees in their departments.  Please
     keep in mind that you should not order a brochure for each employee, but only for the
     number of employees you believe will be interested in the FlexElect Program.  We will
     stock a limited supply of brochures should you need more during the course of the Plan
     Year.
     
     Please indicate on the attached form (Attachment A) how many brochures you will need. 
     In your order, please include the number of brochures you will need for your field
     offices except for the following departments:  Corrections; Developmental Services;
     Education; Mental Health; Transportation; and Youth Authority.  These departments
     should only order brochures needed for employees located at their headquarters.  A copy
     of this PML will be sent to all field offices associated with these departments and they
     will be asked to submit individual requests.
     
     FlexElect Video
     
     A new FlexElect training video is being produced and will be available in early August
     1994.  As in the past, DPA will provide each department with one copy of the video. 
     Field offices for the following departments will also receive one copy of the video: 
     Corrections; Developmental Services; Education; Mental Health; Transportation;
     and Youth Authority.  Departments will be responsible for duplicating the video to meet
     organizational needs.  DPA will have a limited supply of additional videos for those
     departments that do not have the capability to duplicate the video for field offices. 
     Please indicate on the attached form (Attachment A) the number of additional videos
          needed, if any.  PML 94-27
