OOCEA Health & Welfare Trust Open Enrollment: Sept. 1-30, 2020
OCEA member,
This year the OCEA Health & Welfare Trust open enrollment period is September 1 through September 30, 2020. Your open enrollment benefits enrollment guide is in the mail and you should receive it any day. Your benefits will remain the same through plan year January 1 through December 31, 2021 unless you submit new open enrollment forms to OCEA during open enrollment.
Due to the COVID-19 pandemic, open enrollment will be slightly different this year. OCEA has taken several additional measures to help ensure the health and safety of you and OCEA staff. Among those measures, this year benefits staff will not be available to answer open enrollment questions in person. If you have any open enrollment questions or need assistance with your OCEA Health & Welfare Trust benefits you can: (1) call OCEA at (714) 835-3355 and ask to speak with a benefits representative, or (2) email a benefits representative at benefits@ocea.org. Open enrollment will be slightly different, but we're also making it easier and better!
The OCEA benefits staff has assembled a list of open enrollment frequently asked questions and OCEA Benefits Representative Tracie Mills has recorded a comprehensive video presentation, both available here.
The OCEA Health & Welfare Trust led by its trustees is constantly working to ensure that you receive the very best benefits for the most reasonable cost feasible. That never changes, even during a pandemic! Remember there are multiple ways to get answers to your OCEA open enrollment and benefits questions this year. You can:
- Access the benefits staff's list of FAQs or watch the Tracie Mills FAQ video;
- Call a benefits representative at (714) 835-3355; and
- Email a benefits representative at benefits@ocea.org.
More than ever, OCEA helps you make your life work!
In Solidarity,
Lezlee Neebe
OCEA President and Chair, OCEA Health & Welfare Trust
