| NOTICE TO EMPLOYEES REGARDING HEALTH INSURANCE |
|
New employees have 30 days to sign up for insurance. The Insurance Department requests that you come in as soon as possible to allow time to enter enrollment in the OGB site. There are many new employees, and if everyone waits until the last minute, there will not be enough time to get all the information entered into the system. Employees need to come in no later than September 8, 2010. It is best to come in on Mondays through Thursdays as Friday is used for entering enrollments.
Employees who currently have health insurance should visit the website www.groupbenefits.org on a regular basis to check for any changes in providers. The most current information is on the site. It is always good to check with your doctors also.
Employees who are adding a new baby must provide a copy of the birth letter and sign a document within 30 days of the birth. You are required to provide a copy of the birth certificate within a year of the birth or the child will be dropped from coverage.
If you have any questions, call Mimi Love at 432-5220 or email her at mlove@opsb.net. You may also contact Tommie Dozier at 432-5230.
