In the July 7, PEBA Update, we announced changes to the 2020 open enrollment materials. While we understand many employers may have employees who are working remotely, federal laws require written notification of many of the notices prior to open enrollment; therefore, sending notices electronically does not comply with these federal laws. Ultimately, it is the employer’s obligation to ensure that its insurance-eligible employees receive these notices in writing. PEBA assists employers with this obligation by providing printed copies of these notices before open enrollment. Once the delivery timeframe has been confirmed with the printer, we will notify employers via PEBA Update so you can prepare for the delivery.

In May, we announced that Field Services would continue to reach out to employers through phone calls in June. We were overwhelmed by the positive responses and engaging discussions. Thank you!

Our relationships with each of you are important and we miss our interactions in the field, not only with you, but also your employees. Field Services will continue phone calls and we look forward to speaking with you. Remember to review your contact information in EBS and EES to ensure our team members have your current information.
