Dear Employee:
It’s the time of the year when we outline all the beneits available to you during 2017 through Goodwill-Easter Seals
MN (GESM). We are pleased to offer you options which are valuable, meaningful, and affordable.
Dental insurance is provided by MetLife for 2017. Please note they will not send ID cards. Copies of cards can be
obtained off of GoodPoint or you can utilize MetLife’s mobile phone application.
Our lexible spending account administration is moving to Discovery Beneits from Beneit Extras. Please see the
FSA transition guide on GoodPoint for more information. In addition, the healthcare FSA maximum is increasing to
$2,600. Voluntary beneits (accident, critical illness and cancer, supplemental STD coverage) will also be changing. We
are switching to CIGNA for 2017 accident and critical illness and cancer plans. Supplemental STD can be retained
with Colonial Life but premiums will not be payroll deducted. Members will need to contact Colonial Life directly to
continue paying supplemental STD premiums for coverage.
We encourage you to read through this guide to ensure you are enrolled in the best plans for you and your family
in 2017. Instructions on enrolling can be found on pages 4–5. Enrollment is October 31–November 18, 2016. All
desired changes must be made by that date. These elections will remain throughout 2017 unless you have a qualiied
status event within the year.
If you have any questions, please contact Beneits Administration at beneits@goodwilleasterseals.org or by calling
651.379.5924.
Sincerely,
Beneits Administration
