The first Open Enrollment Information Session will take place on Wednesday, May 3 in the T. C. Williams cafeteria from 3 to 6 p.m. 

Come and meet with Human Resources staff and healthcare vendors. Representatives from our new dental carrier, Care First, along with Kaiser, United Healthcare, EyeMed and 403(b) and 457 retirement plans will be available to meet with employees. HR staff will be available to help with benefits enrollment online via Employee Self Service (ESS). You can also:

  • Relax and enjoy a free seated massage
  • Sample healthy food and drinks
  • Have your Body Mass Index (BMI) assessed by a professional
  • Learn a Yoga pose and stress management techniques to decrease daily stress
  • Learn about ACPS Finding Fit and the Spring Health Challenge that kicks off today
  • Get details about “Real Appeal,” a United Healthcare wellness program that promotes healthy diet and physical activity for lasting weight loss

Reminders:

  • Log into ESS to review your current benefits and choose your health insurance benefits for next year, as needed.
  • If you have no changes in your health insurance coverage, no action is required. If you do nothing, your current health insurance elections will stay the same.
  • Participation in Health Care and Dependent Care Spending Accounts requires new enrollment each year. You must make your election for each account through ESS or submit a paper enrollment form to Human Resources.
  • Effective July 1, CareFirst will be our new dental carrier, replacing MetLife Dental. Read the CareFirst FAQ for details.
  • The benefits you elect will remain in effect from July 1, 2017 to June 30, 2018, unless you have a qualifying life event (marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child).
  • Open Enrollment ends on Wednesday, May 31.
