As a reminder benefit changes take effect 1/1/2021. Health Plan Carriers will issue new cards at the beginning of the plan year. If you're changed health plan carriers, please do not continue with your previous carrier, after December 31, 2020.
Lastly, please be sure to review your December and January Pay Warrants to ensure your benefit deductions are reflecting correctly.
Please review the 2021 Open Enrollment Benefits Guide Booklet, the information below, as well as the links of information and forms located on the right side bar.
There is nothing required to do, if you do not wish to make any changes to your current medical benefits. Your current elections for these plans will automatically continue for the 2021 Plan Year.

You are able to enroll, change or cancel the benefit plans listed below:
You must re-enroll each year in the DCRA or HCRA plans:
Note: Enrollment in any of the above benefit plans are restricted to Open Enrollment only, unless, a qualified event mid-year has occurred.
Keep in mind, there are also a number of voluntary plans that you may enroll in, change, or cancel that are not limited to Open Enrollment:

The CSU pays 100% of the monthly premium cost for dental coverage for you and your eligible dependents.

Vision plans are offered through Vision Service Plan (VSP). The CSU provides Basic vision insurance automatically for eligible employees and their families at no cost to the employee. During Open Enrollment, employees have the option to upgrade to an enhanced plan (VSP Premier Plan) for a small monthly cost.
For more information and how to enroll in the Premier Plan, review the VSP Benefits Summary and go to csuactives.vspforme.com/ (Please note: if you upgrade to the Premier Plan, you must also enroll any dependents you wish to have vision coverage, otherwise they will lose their coverage.)
