CIVIL SERVICE – “OPT OUT” PROGRAM – ERRONEOUS NOTIFICATION
CSEA was recently informed by UCS that “the Department of Civil Service has generated notices confirming enrollees’ ‘Opt-Out’ for the 2019 Plan year, which are erroneous as the 2019 Option Transfer Period has not yet occurred.
“As we are not yet sure whether Civil Service will be sending anything out to enrollees notifying them of this error, please ensure that your members are aware that they must re-enroll in the ‘Opt-Out’ Program for 2019 even if they received one of these letters.
“Any questions regarding health benefits should be made to your local Health Benefits Administrator.”
