2017 is bringing several changes to the benefits package, with the main change being a new life insurance carrier and the life insurance offerings. Be sure to visit the HRS Open Enrollment webpage to view all changes to our coverage. The life insurance change requires the attention of all employees.
Premiums for all insurance plans will be changing in 2017, including Medical/Dental premiums, Life Insurance premiums and Long Term Disability premiums. An explanation about the changes in the Life Insurance premiums was provided in No. 3 of the Health Care Authority Life Insurance FAQ’s.
Remember he month of November is the one time a year you can make changes to your medical, dental, FSA, and DCAP benefits for the upcoming 2017 plan year. This year only is also an open enrollment period of life insurance. Employees can get up to $500,000 of employee life coverage, $100,000 spouse coverage, and $10,000 child(ren) coverage without having to answer any medical questions, even if previous requests had been denied.
