2014 Benefits Open Enrollment Coming Soon!
Please remember that the open enrollment period for 2014 Benefits will be November 1 through 22. The Open Enrollment booklet that was mailed to employees’ homes is available on the Open Enrollment website, at http://ohr.psu.edu/benefits/benefits-enrollment/, as well as the latest information, rates, and comparison of the two health plans. Most recently, a decision tool was added to assist employees in choosing between the two plans. Employees who missed the recent Benefits session held for the Libraries can also view the meeting schedule for all campus locations.
