How to Enroll
You may enroll for state benefits when you first become eligible - as
a new hire or because of a Qualifying Status Change event during the year
- and again during Open Enrollment each year. If you don't make changes
to your benefits during Open Enrollment, your previous year's benefit
choices stay in effect for the following year unless there are contract
vendor changes or changes in law.
You may enroll:
- You must complete your Annual Enrollment elections for 2009 calendar
year benefits between September 22, 2008 and 5:30 p.m. Eastern time
on October 17, 2008. If you use a paper form, it must be postmarked
by October 17, 2008.
- If you are a newly hired employee or have just experienced a Qualifying
Status Change event, your enrollment deadline is driven by your date
of hire or the date of the event, respectively.
Health Savings Account Enrollment
Think you made your enrollment choices and now youre through? If
you enrolled in a Health Investor Health Plan, dont stop until you
have enrolled for your Health Savings Account. HSA enrollment is a two-step
process:
- Once you have selected a Health Investor Health Plan, you must open
your HSA through the enrollment system or your enrollment form
indicating how much you want to contribute, if anything,
- Then you must activate your HSA personal bank account by completing
and returning the HSA
Application and Disclosure Package. Note: By Federal law, you will
be required to provide your Social Security number, date of birth and
residential address (not a post office box) to the HSA administrator
before an HSA can be opened in your name.
Until you open your HSA in the enrollment system and activate your
HSA personal bank account, you will miss out on the states contribution
to your account.
Enrolling Optional Over-age Children
To enroll optional over-age children between ages 19 and 30, you must
provide either proof of student status or Florida residency, and may be
asked to provide a birth certificate. If those dependents have been enrolled
in your medical plan, as dependent children, up to age 25, you will be
given a choice to enroll the child as an over-age dependent or
take COBRA coverage.
