The 2007 Open Enrollment period is here! Employees must elect new health plans as previously selected boxes will not carry over. Address changes can only be made by HR staff. For assistance, refer to the NIS and State Personnel websites, CIO Help Desk, and Vendor hotlines. Make sure to review new reports and be aware of specific plan options available in your ZIP code. Remember to run cleanup reports for benefit enrollment, ensure all dependencies are updated, and prepare for post-enrollment cleanup. Let's navigate this process together!
