We are excited to announce our annual Open Enrollment for Benefit elections is October 1 – 31. Don’t miss this opportunity to make changes or review your core and voluntary benefit options for 2018. Open enrollment is passive again this year. This means that you don’t have to enroll during Open Enrollment unless you are actually making changes to your current elections or opting out of coverage. The only exception would be that you are required to elect a new flexible spending account every year due to IRS Regulations. Your flexible spending account will not automatically roll over for next year.
