Subject: 2006 Benefits Open Enrollment Closes May 8
We are writing as a courtesy to remind you that MSU Benefits Open Enrollment concludes on May 8 with changes effective July 1, 2006.
If you are an MSU employee and ANY of the following statements are true, then you do need to participate in Open Enrollment:
- You currently cover a spouse or an MSU-recognized same-sex domestic partner under your benefits and you want to continue that coverage during the 2006-07 benefits year. (This does not apply to you if your spouse or MSU-recognized same-sex domestic partner also works at MSU).
- You want to add an eligible dependent to your health, dental or life insurance benefits (or you want to remove someone from your benefits).
- You want to switch health or dental plans for yourself and your eligible dependents.
- You want to change life insurance options for yourself and/or your eligible dependents.
If you are considering enrollment in the Aetna Dental Maintenance Organization, please remember there are currently only four approved providers in the Lansing/Okemos area.
