Open Enrollment Reminder: April 1-April
23
Open Enrollment for the 2004-2005 plan
year began yesterday, Monday, April 12. You should have
already received your personalized Open Enrollment materials
at your home address. Visit the online enrollment website
at www.pennbenefits.upenn.edu 24 hours a day between
now and midnight on Friday, April 23 to make changes to
your benefit elections.
Please
note that if you are covering dependent children between
the ages of 19 and 23 who are full-time
college students, you must certify their continued eligibility
each year during Open Enrollment. If you fail to do so,
your student dependents will not continue to be covered
under your plans. To certify a dependent's eligibility,
go to the Open Enrollment website at www.pennbenefits.upenn.edu and
(1) click on the dependent's name from the Summary page
to update the student status to Yes, then (2) click on
the benefit type for each plan you want to cover the dependent
under (e.g., medical) and update the coverage for this
dependent to Yes.
If you
have any questions, please call the Penn Benefits Center
at 1-888-PENNBEN (1-888-736-6236),
Monday-Friday, 8 a.m.-6 p.m.
