Warriors for Hope,

As a reminder, Guardian Dental does not provide employees with physical insurance cards. You can log in to the Guardian website to obtain information about your coverage. All you will need to provide for your dentist to access benefits is the highlighted plan number below. 

People Services is pleased to announce the iBenefits application is now updated to reflect your 2019 benefits. The iBenefits application puts the CleanSlate benefits guide as well as plan summaries in a convenient mobile application. The application is free to download and is available for Apple or Android devices. The attached flyer has more details about how to download.

As you begin planning for your retirement in the New Year, CleanSlate is pleased to offer an easier to use process for making updates to your 401(k) contribution. Use the step-by-step guide, Change Your 401 K Deferral Percentage, to make changes to your 401(k) contribution at any time through Ultipro instead of logging into the John Hancock portal.

We want to share with you a small change that will impact employees participating in the HDHP Saver health insurance plan beginning January 4. You will begin receiving your employer-paid contribution to your Health Savings Account (HSA) as a bi-weekly contribution on your paycheck. While the annual employer-paid contribution amount will not change, it will now be divided into 26 payments instead of 12.

Benefits Open Enrollment for 2019 is now officially open from November 26 through December 7. 

Everyone will be required to log in to open enrollment even if you are not making any changes to your plans or you are going to decline the plans.

This is an active enrollment. If you do not log in, your benefits will not be renewed. We want to be sure everyone logs in and is aware of all changes to our plans and is making choices based off of the most current information. To enroll, log in to UltiPro. Click on Menu>Myself>Open Enrollment> then open enrollment 2019. Reminder, that you will need to have your dependents social security numbers , dates of birth and other pertinent information in order to enroll them in your plans. You will want to navigate to each screen and make an election even if you are declining the benefits.

Important!!! Please click the green submit button on the very last page after confirming your elections.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS: 

1. 401 K is not a part of active open enrollment. You may change your 401 K benefits options or sign up for the 401 K program at any time by logging into the John Hancock employee portal. If you do nothing, your 401 K benefits will stay the same.
2. All employer-paid benefits will be rolled over automatically. This includes long-term disability at 60%, short-term disability at 40% and your group life policy at 1 x your annual salary.
