Open Enrollment is the period when eligible employees have the opportunity to enroll into or change their options for health and welfare benefits. The changes you make during Open Enrollment will be effective January 1, The elections you make during Open Enrollment will remain in effect for the entire year, January 1, 2019 through December 31, 2019, unless you have a qualified life event. Qualified life events include: Marriage Divorce Legal Separation Status change Birth or adoption of a child Change in child s dependent status Death of a spouse, child or other qualifying dependent Change in spouse s benefits or employment status Open Enrollment Time Period Open Enrollment will be held beginning November 5 and ending November 23, During this time period you may do the following: Enroll in or change coverage Add and/or remove an eligible dependent from your coverage, including dependent children up to age 26 Opt out of coverage* Elect your annual contribution to the Medical and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account. Your current election DOES NOT roll over from year to year. * You may decline health insurance offered by Franklin & Marshall College - this is called a Waiver of Coverage. If you waive coverage for yourself, you may not cover dependents under the F&M health plan. Note that if you decline coverage considered affordable and adequate under the Patient Protection and Affordable Care Act, you will not qualify for government subsidies to purchase individual health insurance. Electing to Opt Out of coverage through open enrollment, or allowing your opt out status to continue constitutes a Waiver of Coverage. The decision to waive coverage has consequences. If you refuse employer coverage and don t obtain coverage on your own (through another plan such as a spouse s plan, Medicaid, or Medicare), you may be subject to a tax penalty. pg. 3
