Benefit changes now in effect
Please note the following:
- The new medical and dental premiums went into effect on the March 31 payroll. If you made changes to your medical or dental plans, those changes should be reflected in the amounts of your deductions on your March 31 pay statement.
- The flexible spending account deduction on March 31 was the last of the old plan year, so if you made changes or stopped participation, you won’t see new (or no) amounts until the April 30 pay statement.
- Starting April 1, your flex debit card, if you have one, was reloaded with new plan year money if you renewed. Keep your card unless it expired, in which case your new card will arrive in a week or so in a plain white envelope.
- If you still have flexible spending account funds left over from the 2010-11 plan year, those are no longer accessible by debit card – only by reimbursement.
- The deadline for spending old plan year flex funds is June 15, 2011.
- And finally, if you enrolled for the voluntary life insurance, those deductions will start on April 30.
