Open
enrollment for long-term care is here!
Open enrollment for long-term care insurance
will be held from April 4 to 30 for all eligible employees with
a FTE of .50 or greater. During the month of April, current participants
may enhance their coverage, and new participants may enroll without
going through a medical screening for the guaranteed benefits amount.
Long-term care insurance provides assistance with
expenses associated with facility-based care or care provided in
residential settings. Employees are encouraged to consider this
opportunity, as special enrollments occur infrequently.
The plan also is available for you and your spouse
as well as either of your parents and/or grandparents, even if you
elect not to enroll yourself. There is no age limit for enrollment
in the plan. All family members must provide evidence of good health
and be accepted in the plan.
During the month of April, employees should receive
a reminder from the plan’s underwriter, CNA, about the special
enrollment period. For more information about the long-term care
plan, employees may wish to visit one of three information sessions
conducted by a representative from CNA:
- Tuesday, April 19, 9 to 10 a.m., 285 Reitz Union
- Tuesday, April 19, 1 to 2 p.m., 285 Reitz Union
- Tuesday, April 19, 3 to 4 p.m., Room 1102 (1st
Floor) HPNP Building--located next to Shands
Registration is not required, although seating may
be limited. Additional information can be found on the HR
web site by clicking on the CNA link for details on the plan,
costs, and enrollment information. Applications must be returned
to CNA by April 30.
