Open Enrollment 2021 is Here!

Welcome to Open Enrollment 2021!

As some of you may remember, we have switched our benefits effective date to begin on January 1st rather than a mid-year effective date in April. This was done to align directly with deductibles and out of pocket maximums. This way, each deductible and OOP maximum will align with your plan dates and FSA enrollments. As usual, we worked very hard to make sure we exhausted every opportunity to provide everyone with the best and most cost-effective options for insurance coverage.

If you are about to stop reading this post because you do not take advantage of our benefits offerings, please note that you must enter Sonus.Ease.com and waive all benefits. The federal government requires us to maintain records that you have waived your benefits with us and for what reason in order to stay in compliance.

We know that you need plenty of time to review benefits and make important enrollment decisions and you will have a little over a week to complete your elections. We have begun Open Enrollment today, December 4th, 2020 and the final day to complete your elections will be Monday, December 14th, 2020. This will give your Open Enrollment team enough time to ensure all data is entered before our benefits effective date of Friday, December 1st, 2021 and ensure we can access digital ID cards, eliminating any potential disruptions in care.

Our Colonial Life representative, Jack Wu and his team will be available to speak with you individually to make recommendations and help you best understand your benefits offerings. You can schedule an appointment by following this link.

You all received an Ease Detailed User Guide in the email referring you to this post. We are using the same system for our enrollment this year which can be found at Sonus.Ease.com. For those of you who are new to Sonus and did not go through Open Enrollment last year, this is the same system through which you completed your onboarding. Be sure to login to Ease as soon as possible even if you will not be completing enrollments until a later date to ensure you have your password and can login without any issues.

New plans will be effective January 1st, 2021 and your new premiums will be deducted beginning on the check date January 1st, 2021.
