Special Insurance Enrollment Opportunity: May 26 – June 24
COVID-19 has impacted many of our employees and their families in unanticipated ways. Recent federal guidance issued in response to the pandemic allows us to offer a special enrollment opportunity where all benefit-eligible employees can elect medical and/or dental coverage for themselves or their dependents. It also allows employees to elect or change pre-tax contributions to their MDEA and/or DCEA.
Add Medical and/or Dental Coverage
- Complete this form
- Add medical and/or dental coverage for yourself and dependents; covered employees cannot drop their coverage or change health plans.
- Coverage goes into effect the first day of the following month after SEGIP receives the form.
- Dental coverage will not be open during this fall’s Open Enrollment.
Change Pre-Tax Contributions to MDEA and/or DCEA
- Complete this form
- Add, decrease, or increase your MDEA and/or DCEA. On the “Event Date” line on the form, write COVID-19.
- Elections cannot be reduced to less than the amount that has been contributed and/or used to date, whichever is greater.
- Contribution changes go into effect the first day of the pay period when the form is received.
Completed forms should be submitted to SEGIP by June 24, 2020 by 11:59 p.m. using one of the following options:
