Health Insurance: Important Zoom Call on 11/30/23 Thursday 5 pm EST 11-27-2023

Hello Everyone,
As you all know, every year we shop around for the best possible coverage and cost for our W2 full-time eligible employees. We currently have Anthem as our provider for Health, Dental, Vision, Life and Long-Term Disability. In the past, we renewed all of our policies eff 1/1. Since this would sometimes cause our new ID cards to be delayed due to holidays and year-end activity, last year we decided to purchase Health insurance coverage that will expire on 3/31/24 (instead of 12/31/23).
Our Dental, Vision, Disability, and Life policies will continue to expire at the end of December (12/31/23) as they have in prior years. We have received reasonable bids for each of these policies for the new year (2024) and will be sending out plan descriptions and election forms for Dental and Vision coverage very soon.
We will start the process of renewing our Health insurance coverage in Jan 2024. Currently, we have no information on the Health insurance renewal. It will depend on many factors. So, if you have Health Insurance benefits from our company or are planning to elect coverage eff 4/1/24, it is important that you attend this Zoom meeting on 11/30 at 5 pm.

OR please dial the number: (646)558-8656 with meeting ID: 3564056930
Jammie Sommer, who is our Care Director from OPUS.US will explain the deductible carry forward and the pros/cons of switching plan types during a benefit year. She will also answer any questions that you might have. This is an educational session only. Please feel free to send your questions ahead of time so she can address them first.
Thanks

Work Location Allocation Form (Ohio W2 Employees ONLY) 09-02-2023
Hello
Due to changing remote work locations (including Hybrid or Onsite) and requirements, we need to make sure that our records are current and correct. For this reason, we will need our employees to provide a breakdown of the hours that they work by location each week.
If your hours are allocated to your work locations using a formula (i.e., 16 hours per week at location 1 – rest at location 2). please describe the formula used in the box at the bottom of the attached form. We will use this formula going forward (until we receive another form from you) so you won’t need to send us weekly breakdown of your hours.
If you are only working at one location, please list that location as Work Location 1 and show “100% at Location 1” in the box.
If the allocation of your time between worksites is not based on a consistent formula, we will need an allocation form (attached) showing the breakdown of your hours between work locations each week. Please send these to us each Monday for the prior week.
Please complete and send this form at your earliest convenience or contact support 614-888-2227 ext. 4680, if you have questions or need help completing the form. We will continue your tax withholding as currently happening until we receive an updated form.
Thanks
