October 26, 2017

Open Enrollment begins today and ends Nov 21 at 5pm

What’s new?UC will continue to offer the same choice of quality medical plans next year and the Legal plan is open once again for enrollment.

What do I do now?Please explore your Open Enrollment website to learn more about the 2018 plan changes and your benefit plans. Then, log into your personal account on At Your Service Online to make your changes. Even if you don’t make changes, you should still review your 2018 costs, coverages and update your beneficiaries as necessary.

In order to participate in the Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) for the 2018 plan year, you must enroll or re-enroll. Remember, if you choose Anthem Blue Cross Health Savings Plan (HSP) as your medical plan, you cannot enroll in the Health FSA.
