FALL MEDICAL BENEFITS ENROLLMENT PERIOD: NEW YORK CITY HEALTH BENEFITS PROGRAM (NYCHBP)

The open enrollment period for the New York City Health Benefits Program is usually in November. During this time, employees may change plans, add or drop a rider and/or dependents. Any changes made during the transfer period will be effective the first day of the first full pay period in January. For more information regarding the NYCHBP you may visit:

 

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNTS PROGRAM (FSA)

There are 4 programs under the FSA Program umbrella: the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) Program, the Dependent Care Assistance (DeCAP) Program, the Medical Spending Conversion Health Benefits Buy-Out Waiver Program and the Medical Spending Conversion Premium Conversion Program. Brochures and forms are available on the OLR website under Forms and Downloads at: http://nyc.gov/html/olr/html/forms/forms_and_dl.shtml

Employees currently enrolled in the Flexible Spending Account Program will automatically be mailed a FSA Program Brochure and Enrollment/Change Form to their address on record. In addition, participation will continue automatically each plan year for those currently enrolled in the MSC Buy-Out Waiver and Premium Conversion Programs. Therefore, it is not necessary to re-enroll in these two programs unless you have a change in status.

 

PSC-CUNY WELFARE FUND

The PSC-CUNY Welfare Fund Transfer period is from October 31st through December 1st. During this period Fund participants and benefits-eligible employees may change their dental coverage between Guardian and DeltaCare USA. Please find the applications forms here.
