Dear Improvement Association employees:

It's open enrollment for employee benefits.  Employees can make changes to their benefit plans at this time.  As a result of ACA and Health Care Reform, there have been some important changes to the medical and dental plans for 2014.  Please refer to the specific webpages that outline coverage.


Please complete the following annual election form to update participant information.  Please note that new forms will need to be completed for medical and dental insurance at this time also.  Once completed, please return to Cecelia Blythe.

• Annual Election Form (print and fill out)

This Employee Benefits site provides employees with an excellent opportunity to familiarize yourself with the many great benefits The Improvement Association provides. Participating employees may also access necessary forms and documents.  As always, we strive to make our benefits package affordable, sustainable, and cost effective.

If you are a new employee, and have met your new hire waiting period, you may use this site to see your benefit options, and complete your initial enrollment paperwork.  The core benefits package includes:

.....♦ Group Medical Insurance

.....♦ Group Dental Insurance

.....♦ Group Life and Long Term Disability Insurance

In addition to the core benefits, new employees may choose from a menu of optional voluntary benefits also.

.....♦ Short Term Disability

.....♦ Supplemental Life Insurance

.....♦ Cancer and Accident Plans

.....♦ Flexible Spending Accounts

It is important to remind you that benefit elections are generally binding for the entire year and cannot be changed until the next Open Enrollment period, unless you experience a qualifying event that allows for benefit changes during the year. If this happens, you MUST notify Cecelia Blythe of such a change within 30 days of the qualifying event date.
 
If you are enrolling in any insurance plan, please complete the insurance company enrollment form for that specific benefit election.  You will find those forms, to download and print, on the site page associated with that benefit.  Each plan has its own form.

Please review the information available for these plans and make your choices. All benefit questions should be directed to the administrative team at The Capitol Group. Our point of contact is Richard Stewart and the account manager is Laura Markel.  Their contact information is:
