Employee Benefits 2006 Open Enrollment - September 28, 2005 through October 5, 2005

Open Enrollment for 2006 Employee Benefits begins Wednesday, September 28, 2005, at 8:00 a.m., and ends Wednesday, October 5, 2005, at 12:00 midnight. Eligible employees may choose to participate in one of eight medical plan options (HMO Staff, HMO, EPO, POS, PPO, CoverageFirst, HDHP or Opt Out) and/or one of three dental plans. Employees may also enroll in vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, life, cancer, hospital income protection, and GAP coverage plans. In addition, employees may enroll in medical and/or dependent care flexible spending accounts (FSAs) during this open enrollment period.

Employees who do not want to change any of their current benefit elections do not have to take any action (exception: FSA participation). All FSAs terminate at the end of the plan year. If any employee wants to “continue” participating in an FSA, he/she must make a new FSA election online (or call the Aon helpline) during the Open Enrollment period.

Beginning September 28, 2005, employees may enroll in their benefits by visiting the enrollment website at www.sdhc.selfservicenow.com, attending one of the open enrollment meetings (Armwood, Jefferson, and Chamberlain High Schools), or calling the Aon Helpline at 1.866.522.9133.
