ME MO R A N DU M - No. 13 October 10, 2014
vz 2015 ANNUAL OPEN ENROLLMENT
October 21 to November 4, 2014
TO: All Members, Stewards, Chief Stewards
NOTE: Please keep in mind that Mid-Atlantic members can make changes up until 12/31/14
If you take no action, your current elections for medical, dental, vision, life insurance, spending accounts,
tobacco/non-tobacco user designation and Health Assessment credit will automatically carry over for 2015,
unless otherwise noted within the Annual Enrollment 2015 brochure being mailed to members.
Confirmation of Coverage Statement
A confirmation statement will no longer be automatically sent to your home address on file after Annual
Enrollment. It is advised you request a copy of your Confirmation Statement by calling the verizon Benefits
Center (VBC) at 1-855-489-2367 or by logging onto www.verizonbenefitsconnection.com and printing out a
copy. I would suggest doing it even if you are not making any changes.
Health Assessment Completion Credit Up to $100
If you are currently receiving the credit for previously completing the online Health Assessment, the credit
will automatically apply for 2015.
If you are not currently receiving the Health Assessment credit, complete the Health Assessment by
December 10, 2014 to receive a $100 credit toward your annual medical plan contributions for 2015.
Completion of the Health Assessment after December 10, 2014 but before December 31,2014 may delay
your full credit. The Health Assessment can be completed by logging into
www.verizonbenefitsconnection.com.
Non-Tobacco User Credit Up to $600
If you are already receiving credit for completing this incentive, no further action is required. The credit will
be applied to your 2015 coverage. If you have not yet completed a tobacco cessation program or updated
your status, please refer to your 2015 Annual Enrollment brochure that will be mailed to you.
Please check your Annual Enrollment Brochure for changes in premiums,
deductibles, and out of pockets expenses.
In Unity,
MICHAEL C. TRAVALI
Secretary-Treasurer
