Annual Enrollment Opens Thursday, October 29
After you’ve elected your cooperative’s group insurance plans during annual renewal, your co-op’s employees have the opportunity to enroll in and/or change their benefits for the upcoming plan year. Changes go into effect January 1, 2016.
For 2016, employee annual enrollment is open October 29 – November 25, 2015 for benefits administrators. Employees who want to make changes to their benefits can do so during your co-op’s assigned wave. Wave 1 (blue) will be November 2 – 15, 2015 and Wave 2 (yellow) will be November 9 – 22, 2015.
To request a different wave for your co-op, call the Member Contact Center (866.673.2299). Give at least a day’s lead time so the system can process your request.

Materials for participants, such as customizable presentations and handouts, as well as brochures and fliers, to help you explain and educate employees on their benefit options and the annual enrollment process for 2016 are available online.
