Here are some common questions about Enrollment.

Getting
Started

Do I need to enroll?

Yes. If you are currently enrolled in Flexible Benefits, your coverage and that of your dependents(s) will terminate on December 31, 2019.  To continue your participation you must re-enroll in flexible benefits during this enrollment period.

Enrollment for healthcare coverage will occur once successful negotiations with the Unions have been finalized. You will receive an enrollment notification at that time. If you and your eligible dependent(s) are currently enrolled in a Cigna healthcare plan, your coverage will automatically roll over to the 2020 plan year.

The cost of these benefits will NOT be deducted from your paycheck.

Eligibility

What is a new employee and when do benefits become effective for employees hired on or after January 1st, 2020?

A new employee is defined as an employee without active benefits. If you are a Part-time employee with a pay code of B, E, F, or L, you are eligible to participate. 

Benefits will be effective the first of the following month.
