    Frequently Asked Questions:

    Question: If I am not changing anything, do I have to do anything?

    Answer:  

    If you opt out of our medical insurance, you DO have to turn in the election form.  And, if you get Cash in lieu of insurance, you must also send proof that you have group medical insurance (a copy of your insurance card) along with your election form.  

    If you want a flexible spending account (FSA) or dependent care account in 2024 you have to fill out the FSA form. 

    You are encouraged to log into your MESSA member account and check your beneficiary information and your address, etc.  There are many supplemental insurance options available, including indemnity and accident coverage.  If you have ABC, Choices or Essentials and are not changing anything, and you do not want a flexible spending account or dependent care account, you are not required to do anything.

    Question: Where are the monthly rates and instructions?

    Answer: On your Open Enrollment Email or Memo (emailed and/or mailed to eligible employees via school mail on October 24, 2023).
