The 2016 Benefits Compliance Calendar is Now Available

The 2016 compliance calendar and download instructions are now posted in the Help & Resources section of the Employee Benefits website.

The calendar files contain 2016 compliance-related tasks and reminders for NRECA’s benefit plans, making it easy to stay on top of critical deadlines. Once imported, a reminder for each approaching deadline and a second reminder on the task due date are loaded to your Outlook calendar. The deadlines appear in your calendar as “all day events” listed at the top of the day’s task list.

Import All or Selected Reminders
Choose from three files:  There is one set of reminders for group plans, one for retirement plans, and one combined file with reminders for all plans. Import just the reminders you need by importing just one file, depending on the plans your co-op offers.

File format: The calendar files are in comma separated value (.csv) format. Since .csv files are compatible with all versions of Microsoft Outlook, including older versions, this means fewer import steps for you.

How to Download
Follow the link in the Message Center Alert, or go to My Benefits and choose Benefits Compliance Calendar under the BA Tools & Resources heading at the bottom of the page. The calendar page contains links to all three reminder files and to a flier with import instructions.

Even if you do not have Outlook, you can still import the reminders into whatever calendaring program you use. The steps may vary slightly from those listed in the instructions. Ask your IT department for help downloading the file into your application.

If you have questions about any of the compliance deadlines, contact the benefits compliance team at 866.673.2299, option 7.
