Spring 2005: MLK Day is January 17, 2005 and the first day of classes will therefore be Tuesday, January 18, 2005.

Benefits Confirmation Statements

Open Enrollment for the 2002-2003 plan year ended on Friday, May 3, 2002. If you made changes to your benefits elections during this year's Open Enrollment period, you will receive a confirmation statement at your home address detailing your new elections. These statements will be mailed out on May 16, 2002. Please check your confirmation statement carefully to be sure that it accurately reflects the changes you made. If there are any errors, contact the Penn Benefits Center at 1-888-PENN-BEN (1-888-736-6236) immediately. Changes to your elections will be effective from July 1, 2002 through June 30, 2003.

Please note that if you did not make any changes to your elections, you will not receive a confirmation statement this year.
