NDPERS open enrollment is through Nov. 4

The NDPERS annual open enrollment is through November 4, 2016.  A Perspectives newsletter (http://www.nd.gov/ndpers/forms-and-publications/publications/perspectives-newsletter/current-edition-active.pdf) with enrollment information was mailed to all eligible employees from NDPERS. Annual enrollment gives employees the opportunity to enroll in health, life (State & UND), dental (Delta Dental or Total Dental), vision and long term care insurance coverage for which they are not currently participating, add/remove dependents and increase/decrease coverage levels.

If you’re not making any changes to your insurance benefits you don’t have to do anything.

• Coverage is effective on January 1, 2017 (except pending insurability approvals).
• State Life Insurance: Employees may increase their coverage by $5,000 without evidence of insurability. Increases in excess of $5,000 to the employee supplemental coverage will require Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Any increase in dependent or spouse supplemental will require EOI.

EOI forms must be submitted to the Payroll Office for processing.
