The annual CMS Benefit Choice Open Enrollment Period is quickly approaching. Please visit the HR Benefit Choice page to review the Benefit Choice Booklet and other helpful information for making your Benefit Choice elections.
Benefit Choice Period: May 1 – May 31
Human Resources would like to highlight a few of the changes you will find in the booklet.
- Premiums will be changing for all plans. See page 2 in the booklet for rates specific to your plan.
- Members have the option to enroll in Dental Only coverage. However, if you enroll in heath coverage and choose dental coverage, your dependents must mirror your coverage.
- MCAP and DCAP participants must re-enroll to participate for FY23. The maximum contribution limits are $2,850 for MCAP and $5,000 for DCAP. Rollover of unused FY22 MCAP funds is capped at $550, and participants must re-enroll with MCAP for FY23 to be eligible for the rollover. There is no DCAP rollover for unused FY22 funds.
- Health Savings Account (HSA) participants must re-enroll for Employee contributions for FY23. Re-enrollment in the Employer contribution is automatic if you participated last year.
