Actions to Take Each Year
- Opting Out of City Coverage – employees must complete an Opt Out Form each year and provide a copy of your alternate insurance card(s)
- Add/Remove Dependents from coverage – review who you’re covering on benefits
- Flexible Spending Accounts – enrollment is required each year to participate
- Beneficiary Review – we ask all employees to complete a new Beneficiary Form to ensure we have the most accurate records
