ERS Transition in Dental Plan Provider

Effective as of September 1, 2026, the Employee Retirement System of Texas (ERS) transitioned from Delta Dental to Humana as the third-party administrator of dental benefits available through ACC.

Humana encourages all participants to check whether your current dentist is in their provider network. DHMO participants should designate a primary care dentist, even if they had one on file with Delta Dental.

Unless you made a plan change during ACC’s open enrollment, your coverage should have automatically transferred to Humana — without requiring you to re-enroll. The update applies to both the State of Texas Dental Choice Plan preferred provider organization (PPO, available nationwide) and the dental health maintenance organization (DHMO, available only in Texas).

YOU ASKED

What should managers and employees do with completed Telework Agreements?

In short, the division/manager can retain agreements internally — or the employee can upload the completed Telework Agreement document to their own Workday profile. Here’s how.

Remember, telework is a perk, not a guarantee. Employees working remotely are still expected to meet expectations of their job, their manager, and all ACC policies and procedures. Telework agreements help document these expectations, which can be updated, or ended, as business needs change.

Review ACC’s governance documentation on telework as needed:

• Telework Administrative Rule

• Telework Guideline/Procedure

• Telework: Faculty Work Location and Expectations for On-Campus Presence (guideline/procedure)
