DISTRICT 1 TOWNHALL CALL

Please hold the date for a districtwide townhall call

THURSDAY, FEBRUARY 27th AT 7:00 PM

SIGN UP HERE

The 2025 Annual Open Enrollment Dates are as follows:

October 8, 2024 to October 17, 2024 – (these dates are for Active employees and Retirees)

This is your opportunity to review your benefits and make any changes to your benefits.

Retirees are urged to make any changes during the annual enrollment period; however they continue to have “Anytime Enrollment”. When a retiree makes a change outside of the Annual Enrollment period, the change is effective the first of the month following a 30 day period. An exception to the “Anytime Enrollment” for retirees is for those retirees with a NCSD after August 2, 2008 who chose to enroll in the HRA option. Those retirees must remain in the HRA option for the 2025 plan year unless they have a qualifying life event.

Most 2024 elections and designations automatically carry over into 2025 Annual Enrollment. Members who want to stay with their current elections for medical, dental, vision and AD&D life insurance plan without any changes don’t need to do anything.

If you have a Qualifying Life Event between open enrollment and the end of the year, you will need to make changes on BenefitsConnections for both 2024 and 2025. Examples of a Qualifying Life Event are adding a spouse if you get married, adding a child when there is a birth of a new baby etc.

Annual Enrollment Guides are in the mail to employees and retirees now.
