To prepare for Open Enrollment and the benefit changes effective 1/1/07 the Company will be mailing a Benefits Update this coming week (9/28/06). Open Enrollment packages will be mailed on 9/29/06. Each package is extensive, with detailed information and examples. The Benefits Update will also explain changes to some of the administrators, made by the Company (please see below for complete list). We were not notified of any changes until after they were made. All changes are consolidations to the administrators currently in place with the Legacy S side. All changes are effective 1/1/07 unless otherwise noted. There will be no changes to any medical plan administrators. As of this date, we have not received a final draft or copy to pass along, but wanted you to be aware of these upcoming changes as soon as possible.
