Open Enrollment for employees of The Arc of Washington County begins Monday, November 4, 2019. This is the ONE time of the year when you can make changes to your Section 125 benefit elections without a qualifying life event. Not only are you possibly going to live with your benefit elections for an entire year, but the choices you make could mean thousands of dollars to you.
What do you need to do and how should you prepare?
Start by learning about your options for next year. I’ll be sending emails and posting flyers, and you can also check the 2020 Open Enrollment page for updates. Perhaps the best way to learn more is to attend a 30-minute information session during which we’ll discuss our three medical plan options, major changes for the 2020 plan year, and have a Q&A.
Location: Board of Directors Conference Room at 840A Florida Avenue.

Information meetings will be posted to our events calendar.
You don’t need to RSVP to attend an information session. Just pick a date/time that suits your schedule. During Open Enrollment, if you want to complete your enrollment with the help of a benefits counselor, you can make an appointment at tinyurl.com/2020enroll.
As an employee of The Arc of Washington County, if you are eligible for benefits, you must either enroll or waive coverage for the benefit plan year that starts January 1, 2020. Attend an information session and make an informed decision about your benefits.
Once you have information about your benefit options, you can think about how you are likely to use your benefits next year, and consider coverage for any eligible family members. We’ll talk more about this during the information sessions.
