DON'T MISS OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR EMPLOYEE BENEFITS!
AUGUST 15 THROUGH AUGUST 31, 2005

Benefits Information Was Mailed to Your Home

You should have received a package of materials announcing Open Enrollment for insurance. The Open Enrollment period is the time to make changes to your health, vision, dental, long-term disability, employee life, and dependent life coverage. You may also add qualified dependents at this time. Changes can only be made during open enrollment or within 31 days of a life event.

This is your opportunity to ensure you have the coverage you want or need. Your benefits will remain the same for the 2005-2006 fiscal year if no changes are made. The next opportunity to make changes to your insurance will be during the 2006 Open Enrollment period.

MI HR Self-Service Must Be Used For All Open Enrollment Changes

All changes to your benefits must be entered in your MI HR Self-Service account. You can review benefits and other human resources information tailored to your specific employment situation at www.michigan.gov/selfserv. Click the "Log into MI HR Information" blue crayon (your employee ID and password are required to access your account.) Access to your account is available 7 days per week, 24 hours per day.

If you do not have access to a computer or need assistance, please contact the MI HR Service Center at (877) 766-6447 to enroll by telephone. The Service Center is open Monday through Friday from 7:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m., and can assist you with any questions you might have.
