Enrollment forms are reviewed, signed, and sent to the State of Maryland Employee Benefits Division (EBD). Once EBD processes the enrollment form, a Summary Statement of Benefit Elections for Year 2015 (the summary statement) is generated. OHR will email this statement to you via Towson’s secure file delivery service.
You will receive an email with the subject Open Enrollment Summary Statement. There will be a link in the body of the email which you click to access the secure file that contains your statement. Please open this email immediately and print and review your summary statement. When reviewing your summary statement, confirm your plan elections, level of coverage, covered dependents, and social security numbers are correct. If there are any errors, contact OHR.
If your summary statement shows a ~ or ^ next to a dependent, you must provide the required dependent documentation to OHR within 30 days of the date on your summary statement. The required documentation includes a signed Affidavit for Dependent Eligibility and Tax Status for each covered dependent and proof of the dependent relationship. Acceptable documents for proof of relationship can be found on page 42 of the 2015 Benefits Guide (i.e., certified copy of birth certificate or certified copy of marriage certificate.)
If your term life insurance contains a * next to the coverage election, Minnesota Life will send you a medical questionnaire because you have requested an amount of insurance which is greater than the guaranteed issue amount. The guaranteed issue amount will be the amount of coverage in force until Minnesota Life reviews and approves your request for additional coverage.
Employees who do not make changes during the open enrollment period will not receive a summary statement.
