The Annual Selection Period for Retirees and Long-Term Disability (LTD) recipients will run from Monday, October 28 to Friday, November 8. This annual two-week event allows participants to review their current benefits and make changes for the upcoming calendar year. All changes will be effective as of January 1, 2020.

Personalized enrollment packets will be mailed to each participant’s home shortly. Participants will receive a 2020 Annual Selection Guide, which includes current enrollment information and costs, medical plan comparison charts, what’s new for 2020 and more.
