As temperatures drop, leaves turn, and frost gathers on the pumpkins, we all know what’s around the corner…..re-enrollment! This year’s re-enrollment period is from November 10 – November 30, 2008. The annual Benefits Fair is scheduled for Thursday, November 13th in the Fitness Center. Visit our website at https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/reenrollment2009 regularly for the most current re-enrollment information.
Although November 10th is a few weeks away, there are things you can do before then to help the online re-enrollment process go more smoothly for you. It’s as easy as 1, 2, 3.
1. Sign in to Parnassus Employee Self-Service (https://vail.ithaca.edu/ace) to ensure that you can access your account. If you are unable to gain access, please go to: https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/documents/ESS.
2. Verify that you are covering only eligible dependents. This is especially important if you have any dependent children between the ages of 19 and 25. Please visit: https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/indchoice/enroll.php#dependents for important information regarding dependent eligibility rules.
3. Review the accuracy of your contact and beneficiary information. A contact is anyone who is covered under your benefits, is a beneficiary of your life insurance, or is listed as an emergency contact. You can go to: https://www.ithaca.edu/hr/documents/benefits/reenrollment2009/updates/ for information on adding or changing contact information as well as designating beneficiaries.
If you need assistance with any of the above procedures or have questions about the re-enrollment process, please contact the Office of Human Resources at 4-3245 or via email at benefits@ithaca.edu.
