ENROLLING IN THE PLANS
ENROLLING IN THE PLANS IS FAST AND EASY -
HERE’S HOW:
This year’s annual enrollment will be handled online through
CBAS. This system allows you to review and/or change
your benefit information from work, home, the library, or
anywhere you can access the internet, 24 hours a day,
seven days a week. When you access the online
enrollment system between November 16, 2015 through
November 30, 2015, your current elections will be
displayed. You must make any necessary changes during
this enrollment period. You are encouraged to log on to the
CBAS online enrollment website to check and confirm your
current enrollment elections or to make any changes. If
your benefits and covered dependents are not correct, you
will not be able to change your elections until the next open
enrollment unless you experience a qualifying event.
DO NOT TRY TO ENROLL PRIOR TO November 16,
2015
TO GET STARTED
ONCE YOU ARE IN THE SYSTEM
If you do not want to make any changes to your
current plan elections you do not have to log on
to the CBAS enrollment system. Your current
elections will rollover to 2016. However, we do
suggest that you log on to check your current
elections, dependents and beneficiaries for
accuracy. If you are enrolled in the Flex
Spending Account your current election will
NOT
rollover to 2016. You must log onto the CBAS
site and make your FSA election for 2016.
When you start the enrollment process, you are
asked to review your demographic information
and report any changes.
You will be directed through several screens that
will provide information on all of your benefit plan
options. Review your elections and make any
necessary corrections.
Update your beneficiary information for the Life
and Accidental Death & Dismemberment
(AD&D).
Once you have made your elections, you need to
click on the “Accept Elections” button. You will
then be prompted on the next screen to “Submit
Elections”.
After you have made your 2016 elections, print a
copy for your records.
If you make an error or want to change your
elections, you must contact Human Resources.
Changes will not be allowed after November 30,
2015.
If you experience any problems entering your
benefit elections, you may contact Asha Kuhn at
CBIZ Benefits & Insurance Services at 314-692-
2249 or Human Resources at 636-379-5438.
The online portal will be active and ready for you to enroll
from:
November 16,2015 through November 30, 2015
