Did you know that we have TWO open enrollments coming up?

October 2, 2023 through November 10, 2023 - Pierce Group will be at your location so that you can make changes to your benefits or enroll for any new benefit options.  Please note that this is the meeting when you have to sign up for the Flexible Spending Account or Daycare Spending Account.  If you do not sign up during these dates, you will not have the flexible spending account for the next year.

October 9, 2023 through October 27, 2023 - This is the NC State Health Plan.  This open enrollment is mandatory.  At the onset of open enrollment period for the NC State Health Plan, we are all moved to the 70/30 plan to be effective January 1st.  If you fail to update your records during the open enrollment process, you will be charged an extra $60.00 per month because you did not complete the tobacco attestation.  You will also be on the 70/30 plan for all of next year.  Please ensure that you log in and update your records and have completed the tobacco attestation no later than October 27, 2023.
