OE period to make enrollments, changes, or terminations to your benefits, will be from 6/27/14 to 7/13/14.  Changes can only be made during this time period. To enroll, you will no longer be using paper enrollment forms, you will be using the new Paycom Benefits Administration system.  Although we are no longer using enrollment forms, all employees are required to complete the Rate Sheet, located on the benefits website.  Please fill out the correct Rate Sheet.  There is one for those who make 40k or more annually and one for those who make under 40k annually.  Also, if you are electing voluntary or buy-up coverage greater than the guarantee issue amount, you will need to fill out an Evidence of Insurability form, also located on the benefits website.  These two forms must be submitted to HR no later than 7/13/14. You will be making your OE elections through Paycom Benefits Administration in Paycom Employee Self Service.  Please be sure to attend your Paycom Benefits Administration Training today at 1:00 PM, or view the recording, before using Benefits Administration.  The recording will be on the benefits website, along with the OE webinar recording, by Monday morning.  Even though you may not want to make changes to your benefits for the 2014 to 2015 plan year, you will still need to confirm your benefit elections, enter your dependent information, and confirm your contact information on Benefits Administration.  If you have any benefits questions, please contact Melanie Beranek.  For any Paycom Benefits Administration questions after the training, please contact your HR Department.” 46
