In response to Mr. Green's comment on this post:
All employees are subject to the waiting period for electing enrollment in medical Plan 2, however it is actually a fourteen month waiting period that is unique to each employee, and the employee's hire date drives the eligibility date to move to Plan 2. Once an employee has been on Plan 1 for a year he or she will receive a letter from the Benefit department offering the opportunity to move to Plan 2. This is outside, and independent of the annual open enrollment.
Any questions about eligibility, open enrollment, benefit administration, etc. can be referred to the Benefit Department. The number is 800-819-0905.
