The benefits Open Enrollment period is November 2, 2009 through November 13, 2009. The choices you make will be in effect from January 1 through December 31, 2010. After the Open Enrollment period, changes to your 2010 benefits may be made only in the case of a qualifying family status change.

Open Enrollment information for benefits for Adjuncts United Faculty Members eligible for the Modified Part-Time Faculty Benefit Plan is available on the Adjuncts United Website.

Prior to Open Enrollment, there will be General Road Shows for all faculty and staff. Because there are minimal changes to benefit plans for calendar year 2010, there will be no Departmental Open Enrollment Road Shows this year. View the Open Enrollment Road Show information for general dates and times.

In the past employees had a short period available after the close of Open Enrollment for election changes or enrollment. This makeup period has been eliminated and there will be no opportunity for faculty and staff to make any benefits elections or changes for 2010 after November 13, 2009.

ENROLL

You must actively enroll if:

• you want to contribute to a Flexible Spending Account for 2010 (Health Care and/or Dependent Care); or,

• you want to change your dental or dental/vision election (provided you have fulfilled your commitment).

Open Enrollment is conducted online. After reviewing the benefit information on these HR webpages, click on the ENROLL NOW link (on or after 11/2/09). This will direct you to the confidential enrollment site on MySlice.

Please use Internet Explorer to access all Open Enrollment related websites.

To access the site you will need your MySlice NetID and password. If you do not know your NetID and password, or if you have forgotten your login information, visit the NetID Services website for step-by-step instructions to obtain it. Should you have any questions about your NetID, please call Information Technology and Services (ITS) at 315-443-2677 during normal business hours.

Plan Documents

Employees electing to participate in any of SU benefits are bound by the terms of the applicable governing Plan documents. As is the case with all benefits offered by SU, (1) the Plan Administrator has the discretionary authority to interpret the terms of the Plans and such interpretation will be binding on all interested parties to the fullest extent permitted by law, and (2) the University reserves the right to modify or terminate the Plans at any time.
