  • Storrs Open Enrollment Fair Today


    Storrs Campus Open Enrollment Fair 

    Friday, May 13th, 2016 

    9am – 3pm

    Student Union Ballroom

    During Open Enrollment, which runs May 9th through June 3rd, you may change medical and/or dental plans, add or drop coverage for your eligible family members, or enroll if you previously waived coverage.  Any changes you make will be effective July 1, 2016 through June 30, 2017 unless you have a qualifying status change. You may also enroll in the Health Enhancement Program (HEP), if you have not done so already. 

    At the Open Enrollment Fair there will be representatives from the health, dental, and pharmacy carriers to answer your benefit questions. 

    Also available onsite will be representatives from the following:

    • Health Enhancement Program (HEP) to answer general questions about the HEP requirements for 2016.
    • Prudential Retirement, the state's third-party administrator of the Alternate Retirement Plan (ARP), the 457 Deferred Compensation Plan, and the 403(b) plan.
    • Employee Assistance Program (EAP) which provides brief, free, professional consultation and counseling, and workshops.
    • CTrides, a program from the Department of Transportation which provides commuter services and options.
    • TransAmerica, which offers Long Term Care Insurance to help pay for extended medical care that is not covered by health insurance, Medicare, or Medicaid.
