'Open enrollment' month for employees

Related Link: Human Resources Management


Full-time appointed employees of Indiana University will receive an "open enrollment" packet later this month through campus mail.

Employees will then have the opportunity to make changes in health care and personal accident insurance coverages during the month of November.

Employees also have a once-a-year opportunity to elect participation in IU's Tax Saver Benefit plan.

Enrollment is required each year by the IRS to take advantage of related pre-tax reimbursement of health care and dependent care expenses. Employees do not need to be enrolled in an IU-sponsored health plan to take advantage of this plan.

Enrollment changes become effective on Jan. 1. During "open enrollment," employees may also: select a different health-care plan or drop a plan; add or drop dental coverage; and add, drop or change personal accident insurance.
