Annual Enrollment for Benefits Is Coming! 
It's almost that time of year when benefits eligible employees have the opportunity to change their elections for the upcoming calendar year. Please take note of the following:
  • The enrollment period will run from November 1 through November 12, 2021
  • Our medical insurance carriers will be consolidated from four national carriers down to two.
  • Given the carrier changes, we’re requiring all benefits eligible employees to make an ACTIVE election this enrollment season (to avoid default carrier selection from occurring)
  • All changes for 2022 Annual Enrollment will be communicated in the coming weeks. Keep an eye out for enrollment information in your email and home mailbox.
