LEARN ABOUT 2021 BENEFIT UPDATES.

Read this Open Enrollment brochure, including information on the salary threshold and rate changes in the Parkland Employee Health Plan (PEHP), increase in life insurance coverage for yourself, increase in the Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) limit, and the new place to name your beneficiary in the Retirement Income Plan. Watch this year's video at or on the OTM Service Portal. This video can help you make decisions regarding your benefits in 2021. To view the video properly, you will need sound enabled on your computer. If your monitor does not already have speakers, you can connect ear buds to your computer.

ACTION REQUIRED EVERY YEAR IF YOU WANT TO:

Sell Paid Time Off (PTO). Verify/reverify your spouse's access to other health care coverage through his/her employer. If you do not take this step and want to cover your spouse under the PEHP, you will pay the spousal surcharge. Enroll in a Health Care or Dependent Care FSA.

TO ENROLL OR MAKE CHANGES, go to the OTM Service Portal at:

Parkland Intranet Home Page > Self Service Portal > Office of Talent Management

IF YOU DO NOT WANT TO TAKE ANY OF THE ACTIONS IN ITEM 2 ABOVE AND YOU ARE HAPPY WITH YOUR OTHER BENEFITS DESCRIBED ON PAGE 7, no action is required during Open Enrollment. Remember, Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to not only change your benefit elections but also to verify that your current mailing address and contact information on file are accurate.

VIRTUAL ONLINE BENEFITS FAIR

Attend our first Virtual Benefits Fair online at , where you can ask plan-specific questions on Oct. 15 and 16 from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m. Vendors will reply to your questions by email within one business day. Like past fairs, Parkland benefit vendors will host a booth with handouts. They will also host live webinars and sponsor gift card giveaways. You can access the

site throughout Open Enrollment but vendors will be available only on Oct. 15 and 16.

CAN I CHANGE MY BENEFITS COVERAGE DURING THE YEAR? In accordance with federal law, you may change your benefit elections during the year only if you have a change in life or employment status. Examples of life events that will enable you to change your coverage include birth or adoption of a child, marriage, divorce or loss of coverage. Review your Open Enrollment elections carefully to be sure that your choices will fit your situation throughout the year.

Change requests for status change event elections must be made within 30 days following the event.
