2010 open enrollment ends Nov. 20  Go online before Friday, Nov. 20, 2009, to make any changes you want to make to your benefits for 2010. It’s your annual opportunity to choose the health care options best for you and your family.
This year, the decisions you make will impact your pocketbook. KingCareSM out-of-pocket expenses are going up and there’s an increase in the benefit access fee for employees covering spouse/domestic partners with access to medical coverage elsewhere. Be sure to visit the Benefits Open Enrollment site to review the benefit changes for 2010.
Then go to the MyBenefits site to make your benefit elections for 2010. It’s important that you: - Remove the benefit access fee if your covered spouse/domestic partner does not have access to medical coverage (otherwise, you’ll be charged a non-refundable $50/month for that coverage beginning in January 2010).
- Re-enroll in a flexible spending account (FSA) if you have an FSA this year and want an FSA in 2010 (any FSA you currently have does not roll over into next year).
If you have questions or need help with open enrollment, just call Benefits, Payroll and Retirement Operations at 206-684-1556 weekdays, 8 a.m.–5 p.m., except the Veterans’ Day holiday.
