Welcome  to  November

2020 Benefits Enrollment Information

As a reminder, open enrollment for plan year 2020 (benefits effective 1/1/2020 – 12/31/2020) is currently underway and closes on November 8th.

This is a passive open enrollment which means that any benefits you currently have in place will roll over to 2020 if you make no changes, with the exception of spending accounts (HSA, FSA, Dependent Care FSA, Combination FSA).  An election must be made for those if you wish to enroll in an eligible spending account.  If you wish to cancel any benefit(s) for 2020 that you currently have, you must login online or call to have those removed for the 2020 plan year.

As previously mentioned, with our move to the Aetna Premier Care Network Plus (APCN+), some healthcare providers, hospitals, labs, etc. may no longer be in network.  We strongly encourage you to be proactive and speak with your healthcare provider to determine if they will still be within network come 2020.  You can also access information to in network providers at www.aetna.com and/or calling Aetna at 1-800-872-3862.

Visit the website above to access Mercer Marketplace, where you can view your options and learn more about your benefits.  You will use your last name, social security number and date of birth to create an account.

NEED ASSISTANCE?
If you have questions or need assistance enrolling in your benefits, call one of our Mercer Benefit Counselors at 1-800-974-1262 between 7 a.m. to 9 p.m. EST M – F

Plan information is currently available on Spark.

 

SAFETY – Smoke and Carbon Monoxide alarms

Check or replace carbon monoxide batteries twice a year: when you change the time on your clocks each spring and fall. Replace smoke alarm alkaline batteries at least once a year. Test alarms every month to ensure they work properly.

 

Candy Corn White Chocolate Pretzels 

Ingredients
Square waffle-shaped pretzels
Hershey’s Hugs

Directions:
Preheat oven to 170 degrees. Line a cookie sheet with parchment paper. Set aside.
Put pretzels on lined cookie sheet. Set an unwrapped Hershey’s Hug on top of pretzel.
Bake oven for 4-6 minutes until softened (Note: Hugs soften quickly, so keep an eye on them). Remove from oven and immediately press a candy corn into the center of each Hug.

Have a wonderful week,

Naomi
