Annual Open Enrollment
November 1 - 30, 2009
Each year Annual Open Enrollment gives employees an opportunity to review their existing benefit plans to evaluate any anticipated needs and to make adjustments for the upcoming plan year.
- Open Enrollment occurs during the month of November.
- The benefit plans you select will become effective on the following January 1, and will remain in effect for the entire calendar year (with the exception of the dental plans, which are two-year elections).
- Employees who do not initiate a change during open enrollment for optional health, dental, vision, or cancer insurance will automatically continue their coverage as is into the next plan year.
- Continued participation in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) requires re-enrollment each plan year. For FSA only this year employees have the option to complete a paper open enrollment form or participate in online enrollment via Self Service Banner.
Instructions for online enrollment via SSB:
From the AU home page:
- Click on "AU Access"; Sign on with your user name and password
- Select the "Employee Services" tab
>
- Click on "Self Service Banner"
- From Employee Tab click on "Flexible Spending Account Plan Open Enrollment"
- Complete online enrollment process
- Click on "Submit"
Using the same process you may return to change/modify your elections up until 4:45 pm November 30, 2009, at which time the open enrollment period ends.
- You cannot change your benefit selections until the next Open Enrollment period, unless you experience a qualifying life or family status change (e.g. marriage, divorce, childbirth, or death of spouse or dependent--only changes consistent with the status change are permitted.)
- Open Enrollment announcements and information were mailed to benefits-eligible employees' campus addresses.
