2007 Annual Benefits Enrollment will be available November 1, 2006 through November 21, 2006.
- All Associates are eligible to participate in the 2007 Annual Benefits Enrollment.
- For medical plans, you only need to log on to MyInfo if you want to enroll in a Flexible Spending Account, make changes to your current benefits, enroll in new benefits, or add or change beneficiaries. If you are satisfied with your current benefits, no further action is required on your part (except for Flexible Spending Accounts which require re-enrollment).
If you are participating in a plan that is no longer offered in 2007, your medical plan election may be defaulted to a comparable plan or you may be required to enroll in another plan during the Annual Enrollment period if you wish to continue coverage. If you wish to waive coverage, you may do so during the Annual Enrollment period. See chart below for specific information:
