Tax-Advantaged Accounts Open Enrollment: Tutorial is Now Online

An online tutorial is now available to help guide you through the open enrollment process: Enrolling Employees in CBA-Administered Tax-Advantaged Accounts for 2016. This video walks you through the steps you’ll need to take for each employee or retiree who will participate in a CBA-administered tax-advantaged plan in the upcoming plan year.

Remember, open enrollment begins November 1, and your co-op’s enrollments must be completed by November 30. You’ll access the enrollment site via the NRECA Employee Benefits website, at Co-op Insurance > Tax-Advantaged Accounts > Manage 125 Plan and HRA.

Also provided online are two guides:

• 2016 Tips for Open Enrollment: Before You Start – an overview of tips, plus materials to have on hand before beginning your enrollments; and
• The 2016 Open Enrollment Guide, which contains information similar to the tutorial, but in a format you can print if you wish
