IMPORTANT REMINDERS

1. Documentation will be required for dependents you add to any benefits plan. Specific requirements will be available on the Bridge. Dependents will not be added if this documentation is not provided.
2. To continue coverage for your spouse or domestic partner, supporting documentation will need to be provided before the end of the enrollment period. Submit either the front page of your 2017 tax form, a joint household bill, joint bank account or credit account statement, or joint mortgage statement dated after Aug. 1, 2018. The document must list both your name and your spouse’s or domestic partner’s name, date and mailing address.
3. Flexible spending account, or FSA, funds must be used for services provided on or before Dec. 31, and you have until March 31, 2019, to turn in your receipts for your 2018 FSA expenses. Unused balances up to $500 automatically roll over in 2019 as long as you re-enroll in a FSA account for the 2019 plan year. Please note that during open enrollment, the default selection is “waived” for FSA accounts. You must manually select and enter an amount in order to enroll or re-enroll in a FSA account for the 2019 plan year.
