The Open Enrollment period for Insurance plan Year 2010 is October 29th - November 24th, 2009.
Open Enrollment allows you to make changes to your current enrollment in
the PSBP. These changes will become effective on January 1st, 2010.
If you do not make any changes, your enrollment will remain the same for
Plan Year 2010.
Currently, there are no plan benefit or rate changes that will occur for
2010 since postdocs are still in bargaining with the UAW. Once an agreement
is met, there may be changes that will be announced at a later time.
Changes You May Make During Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment allows you to do the following:
- Change your medical and/or dental plans
- Enroll in medical, dental and/or vision if you previously waived (declined) coverage
- Enroll your eligible dependents if you previously waived (declined) coverage for them
- Terminate coverage for yourself and/or your dependents.
