also i hear this year there is no autmoatic roll over so if you forget then you won't have any healthcare next year .. 😱
Everything except flex spending accounts will roll over as usual if no changes are desired.
"Q. Do I have to participate?"
"A.
If you are currently enrolled in a medical, dental or vision
care plan and do not make any changes in Annual Enrollment
for these plans, you will remain in the same plans in 2010 with
any new premium rates (if applicable) applied automatically.
If necessary, coverage will be automatically transitioned
to the designated carrier for your state. At this time we do
ask that employees go online to www.eBenefitsUS.com and
provide dependent Social Security numbers and update their
beneficiary designations, if they have not already done so.
Employees who have opted-out/waived medical, dental or
vision coverage currently, will continue to have no coverage
in 2010 unless you are eligible and enroll during the Annual
Enrollment period.
Flexible Spending Accounts are the only benefit that does
not roll over each year, employees will need to participate in
the Annual Enrollment process to elect Health Care and/or
Dependent Care Accounts for 2010."
