What Do I Need To Do?
New this year! All employees will be required to make benefit elections using the EMS Employee Portal this
year. Regardless of your current enrollment elections, you must go through the system to elect, waive or
confirm benefits elections, including the Flexible Spending Accounts, for the upcoming benefit plan year.
The elections you make during the 2016 Open Enrollment period will remain in place throughout the new
plan year, unless you experience a qualifying change in family status. If you have a qualifying change in
family status mdi-year, you may make changes to your benefits within 30 days of the event. You will
complete mid-year changes online through the Employee Portal, similar to completing the Open Enrollment
event.
