EMPLOYEES OPEN ENROLLMENT (RETIREES CLICK HERE)
The Office of Human Resources is pleased to announce the annual open enrollment period, October 12 through October 23, 2009. During this time, employees can make changes to participation in various insurance and benefit programs (medical, dental, AFLAC and the Section 125 pre-tax program). We also have several new plans to offer this year.
Changes made during this period will be effective January 1, 2010. Remember, this is the only time you are able to make changes to your benefits during the plan year, unless a qualifying event occurs which permits a change (i.e. marriage, birth of child, loss of previous coverage, etc.).
This web page is designed to provide employees with detailed information regarding Edison State College benefit offerings. You may review plan summaries of benefits and plan overviews by clicking on the appropriate links below. For additional information, we encourage you to participate in one of the informational meetings scheduled.
If you would like to make changes to your benefits or have any questions, please contact Tracy Reynolds, Benefits Specialist at treynolds1@edison.edu or 239-489-9391.
