Open Enrollment

New for FY2025

Our vision carrier will have a new look on September 1, 2024. Superior Vision has changed their name to  Superior Vision by MetLife. In addition, the frame and contact allowance will increase from $150 to $200 per plan year. It is important to note that the contact lenses benefit is in lieu of the eyeglasses benefit. The plan will cover eyeglasses or contact lenses in a single plan year, but not both.

Reminders

• If you are an employee or retiree covering your grandchild as a dependent, you should recertify your dependent by submitting new documentation to the System Benefits Administration office. Accepted grandchild documentation is a copy of the portion of your most recent income tax return that states you are claiming your grandchild as a dependent. You may redact (cross out) any financial information.
• If you would like to remain enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account, you must re-enroll every year.
• It is important to name a beneficiary for life insurance, and the fastest way for your beneficiary to obtain your benefit in the event it is needed. Open Enrollment is a good time to check your beneficiaries and ensure they are up to date.
• For those enrolled in the A&M Care Plan, there is a $200 copayment required for emergency room visits. The copayment will be waived if the member is admitted to the hospital. This copayment is necessary to help offset the increasing costs of emergency room visits, especially out-of-network, stand-alone emergency rooms.
