Dear College Chairs & Directors,

You and your College faculty and staff colleagues should have received this note below this morning. I am concerned at the number of faculty and staff in our College who have not yet signed up for their health plans at this point in the open enrollment period. I am asking for your help in reinforcing the urgency of this deadline and necessity of enrollment this year. Please share this message as you are able at departmental meetings, in messages to your departments, and other opportunities as they arise. I appreciate your partnership in sharing this crucial information.

sincerely,
Clarence

Dear College Colleagues:

I am writing to urge those of you who have not yet done so to complete your open enrollment for your State Employee Health Insurance Plan (SEHP). As you may know, this year is "active enrollment," which means that the state requires us to re-enroll for our health insurance plan. Even if you like the plan that you currently have, you must enroll for it again. This is due by the end of the day on October 31.

To keep the medical plan in which you are currently enrolled, or to switch to some other plan of your choosing, you must log into the Membership Administrative Portal<http://humanresources.ku.edu/ready-enroll> (MAP) and make a selection. If you neglect this task, you will default to Plan N, which I have been told provides very subpar benefits.

If you need assistance understanding the differences among employee health insurance plans<http://humanresources.ku.edu/seminars-webinars-and-benefits-fair> or signing up<http://humanresources.ku.edu/tools-and-resources> in MAP, Ask Alex<https://www.myalex.com/kansassehp/2019> -- a new interactive tool -- is available to help guide you. Please also note that Delta Dental coverage is available as a standalone choice (as is Surency Vision) for those of you who do not need medical coverage through SEHP.

Your actions during open enrollment this month will have a significant impact on your welfare this coming year.  Please do not delay in researching your options and making the best choice for you and your families by October 31.

sincerely,

Clarence Lang
Interim Dean, College of Liberal Arts & Sciences
