2FA protects you
During this Special Enrollment period, benefits-eligible employees who are currently enrolled in a health insurance plan can change coverage to a different health insurance plan, or drop health insurance coverage for themselves and/or their spouse and dependents. This enrollment period allows some change options to health plan elections only and does not include change options to vision, dental, life insurance or any other voluntary benefits.
If you do not want to make any changes to your health coverage or drop coverage, then you do not need to do anything. You will remain in your selected health insurance plan.
If you wish to change your health plan or if you wish to drop your spouse and/or dependents who are currently enrolled, please log into FlexNet from Monday, July 6, through Friday, July 17, to elect a change in plan enrollment.
Please be sure to read updates to the Benefits Supplement of the 2015-2016 edition of the "Get the Best from Your Benefits" booklet.
