Annual Enrollment for Benefits
Each year, annual enrollment is your chance to choose benefits or make changes that will be effective the following Jan. 1 through Dec. 31.
Annual enrollment period this year is October 1-14, 2022.
Networks and benefits may change and impact you. It’s a good idea to review your enrollment selections each year. If you don’t make changes, you will stay in the medical, disability, dental, vision and life insurance products you’re enrolled in now.
You are not required to enroll in health insurance. If you do not enroll, no premium dollars for health insurance will be deducted from your paycheck.
Visit About Enrollment for details.
Visit Enrollment Materials for more information.
Benefits Fair
Instead of having an onsite Employee Benefits Fair, webinars were conducted where employees can hear directly from vendors about products in which they can make a choice. Benefits Administration recorded the sessions and post them on the ParTNers YouTube page for employees to watch at their convenience.
