Benefits Q&A
What benefits can I add or change during open enrollment?
• See your election form for details.
What if I do not want to make any changes to my benefits? Do I need to do anything?
•
Yes, you need to complete the enrollment form and return it by mail, email, or fax.
Can I make corrections to my insurance elections once I have submitted them?
•Yes, as long as it is during the Open Enrollment period.
Can I change my insurance benefit elections at any time?
• No, you may only make changes during Open Enrollment or if you have a Qualifying Change in Status and are eligible to make changes (limited cases only). Please note, you must notify the Human Resources Benefits Office of any changes within 30 days of the date of the event.
EVSC determines eligibility for qualifying life events and whether they are allowed or not dependent upon contract language. Please contact our office to inquire.
How do I find out if my doctors or hospital participate in the health insurance plan?
• You can access the health plans’ provider directories via the Anthem Medical website
www.anthem.com, Paramount HRI Dental at www.insuringsmiles.com and VSP Vision at www.vsp.com.
Who should I call if I have specific questions regarding the benefit plans?
• You may contact the Human Resources Benefits Office at (812) 435-8405 or (812) 435-8410 or email at
[email protected].
Why do I need to provide EVSC with my social security number and the social security numbers of my spouse and children? Is there a reason why they need our social security numbers?
The Affordable Care Act, also known as health care reform, requires EVSC to collect the Social Security numbers of each person enrolled in our health plan - that includes your covered dependents. EVSC is required to provide the Health Coverage tax form 1095-B to you and the Internal Revenue Service (IRS). You will use information from the form to prepare your individual income tax return. The law required SSNs to be reported on form 1095-B.
If one of your dependents does not yet have a Social Security number, just go to
http://socialsecurity.gov/forms/ss-5.pdf and complete the form. Applying for a Social Security card is free.
