Open Enrollment 2023
This year’s open enrollment is May 8th through May 19th, 2023. If you miss this window, you will have to wait for the next open enrollment election year unless you have a qualifying event throughout the year. A qualifying event consists of; loss of coverage, gaining a dependent, getting married or divorced, loss of a family member, having a child or adopting a child.
The annual Benefits Fair will be held on Thursday, May 11th from 2pm-5pm. This will be held at City Hall on the 3rd floor in the Keverian Room. There will be representatives onsite from Blue Cross/Blue Shield, Harvard Pilgrim, Delta Dental, Canarx, Aflac, Colonial Life, Cafeteria Plan advisors, Smart Plan, KSG (Employee Assistance Program), and Nationwide. These vendors will be onsite to answer your questions in making decisions concerning plans that would best meet the needs of you and your family.
Additionally, we have attached the Flexible Spending Account (FSA), information for the FY24 benefit year. Please reach out if you have any questions as this is a benefit, if you elect it, that needs to have the forms filled out each year. Please remember that a Flexible Spending Account is a “use it or lose it benefit”, so plan accordingly for the year. This form needs to be submitted no later than May 15th, 2023, or you will not be eligible to enroll.
As a reminder, it is a great time to update any beneficiary information on your Life Insurance as well as any address changes.
Please reach out to Human Resources with any additional questions or concerns. If you aren’t making any changes, you do not have to do anything and your benefits will remain the same.
