Such notices will include (but not be limited to) newsletters, enrollment announcements, Summary Plan Descriptions (SPDs), Summaries of Material Modifications (SMMs), Summary Annual Reports (SARs), COBRA notices, Summaries of Benefits and Coverage, Health Insurance Marketplace Notices and HIPAA certificates of creditable coverage.
Each benefit plan in which you enroll has a Summary Plan Description (SPD) that describes the key provisions of the plan. Plan amendments describe any material changes made to the benefit plan since its SPD was originally drafted. A plan’s SPD and plan amendments are very important documents.
In order for us to provide you with this opportunity, you must consent to receive all Employee Benefit notices electronically by signing the form below. Prior to consenting, you should understand that:
