Early last week, the Communications and Community Relations department sent an email to all OSD employees titled “SEBB Open Enrollment begins today.” Below is a reprint of that email, which contains important information about open enrollment.

In addition, please note that three mini-benefit fairs have been scheduled at Knox 111 Administrative Center. The benefit fairs will be held at 4:30 p.m. on October 9 in Room 202, and on October 15 and 17 in the Board Room.

Following is the reprint of an email sent to all OSD employees on October 1, 2019:

The SEBB Program first annual open enrollment begins today.

• SEBB My Account is ready for you to create your login and enroll in benefits.
  • A SEBB My Account User Guide has been created to help guide you through the process.
• Use SEBB My Account to:
  • Elect your medical, dental and vision plans
  • Enroll your eligible dependents
  • Submit documents to prove your dependent’s eligibility
  • Submit attestations
  • Enroll in supplemental long-term disability
• Use Navia Benefits Solutions to enroll in the medical flexible spending arrangement and/or the dependent care assistance program*.
• Use the MetLife portal to elect supplemental life insurance and supplemental accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance for yourself and your family members.

*Note: If you are unable to access Navia Benefit Solutions and MetLife’s portal, it may mean your eligibility for benefits was uploaded after September 26. Contact your payroll or benefits office to verify that is the reason.

Your dependents will not be enrolled. You will also pay the $25-per-account tobacco use premium surcharge in addition to your monthly medical premium.
