Tune in and avoid this common Summer Enrollment mistake!!2
#rockENROLL #summerenrollment

Today is the day! You can make changes to your benefits beginning today. Whatever you do, remember, KEEP your FREE life 2x your salary and long-term disability benefits (LSC pays those premiums for you!) #rockenroll #share #likeus

Employees, Summer Enrollment starts tomorrow! June 29-July 11. We are here to answer any questions you have. If you are unsure about any part of your benefits, ask us! #Share #Likeus

[06/22/20]   Did you know that LSC covers the premiums for life insurance up to 2x your salary and Long-Term Disability (LTD)? Although you see a premium cost on your worksheet from ERS, you do not pay this amount. Do not cancel this free benefit during the upcoming Summer Enrollment. If you waive this FREE benefit, you will not be able to re-enroll until next Summer Enrollment, and you will have to get approved through Evidence of Insurability (EOI). #share
