Annual Enrollment Opens on Monday, October 18

Now that you’ve elected your cooperative’s group benefit plans during annual renewal, your co-op’s employees can enroll in or change their benefits for the upcoming plan year. Changes go into effect January 1, 2022.

For 2022, the annual enrollment period runs from October 18 through November 18, 2021, 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) is October 21 to November 5, 2021, and Wave 2 (yellow) is November 1 to 16, 2021.

Note: To turn online annual enrollment on or off or to request a different wave for your co-op, call the Member Contact Center at 866.673.2299. Give at least a day’s lead time so the system can process your request.

Annual enrollment materials
Materials for participants, such as customizable presentations and handouts, as well as brochures and fliers are available online. Use the annual enrollment brochure as well as the benefits check-up presentation and handout, along with the video tutorial and other materials, to educate employees on features of their benefits and the enrollment process.

If you have questions about annual enrollment, speak with your field representative. You also can contact the Member Contact Center at 866.673.2299 or contactcenter@nreca.coop.
