Connecticut Partnership Plan: 2016 Healthcare Open Enrollment
The 2016 Healthcare Open Enrollment period will begin Friday April 15th, 2016 and will end Sunday May 15th, 2016. Open Enrollment is the time of year when continuing Graduate Assistants, Graduate Interns and Graduate Fellows may make changes to their existing medical and dental plan elections, including the eligible dependents they cover, without a qualifying change in status. Elections/Changes made during Open Enrollment are effective September 1st. As a reminder, any member adding a dependent to their insurance is also required to provide proof of the relationship, such as a marriage certificate for a spouse or a long form birth certificate for a child.
Graduate Assistants, Graduate Interns and Graduate Fellows who have not received confirmation of continuation for the 2016-2017 Academic Year, may still make changes during the open enrollment period. There will not be an opportunity to change insurance elections after May 15, 2016, without a qualifying status change*. If you have received confirmation of an appointment continuation and you do not wish to make any changes, you are not required to take any action to continue your existing coverage.
*Continuation of employment does NOT qualify as a status change to make elections/changes to your coverage. Examples of qualified status changes include birth of a child, marriage, adoption, loss of coverage and divorce. If you have questions, please contact Human Resources to verify if your life event would qualify to make changes to your coverage. |
