AFSCME Part-time Food Service Employee Benefits

At this time, open enrollment is being held for your Flexible Benefits only. Your healthcare enrollment is pending final negotiations and ratification with the Unions, and Board approval. Therefore, your current Cigna plan or opt-out option will continue for January 1, 2020 until we are able to offer you an open enrollment period.

Open Enrollment for 2020 Flexible Benefits is MANDATORY!

Flexible Benefits Open Enrollment Dates:

November 26 – December 10, 2019

Period of Coverage Dates:

January 1 – December 31, 2020

 

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 before the enrollment deadline of December 10, 2019.

  • You can add your eligible dependent(s) during this enrollment period; however, you must have a valid Social Security Number for each eligible dependent. You must also submit proof of eligibility documentation (i.e., marriage certificate for spouse, birth certificate for natural children) upon request. If you do not provide the required documentation, coverage will be terminated.
  • 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. Cigna has upgraded their pharmacy claim processing platform to Express Scripts; therefore, you will receive new ID cards with updated routing information to help pharmacies easily process your claims.
