IBEW Employees will be moved to the BlueCross/BlueShield insurance plan.  If you are not making any changes you will be moved to the same designation you currently have Family or Single.  If you plan to make any changes including changes to Employee + Children or Employee + Spouse you must complete the 2024 Election form. Everyone will also need to complete the Family Medical Care Plan Enrollment form for BlueCross/BlueShield.

HSA Employee Contribution Election Form – This form must be completed if you would like to enroll or make changes to your HSA account through a payroll deduction. Maximum Contributions for 2024 are Single $4,150 and $8,300 Family which would include the $500 wellness incentive.

FLEXIBLE SPENDING ACCOUNT – Completed the attached form and you would like to contribute to a FLEX account for Medical or Dependent Care in 2024. The maximum Flex contributions are Medical $3,200 and Dependent Care $5,000.

Keep the following in mind:

• Your entire election amount is available to you at the start of the plan year, even if you haven’t contributed funds from your paycheck yet. This means that if you have medical expenses early on, you can use your funds in advance to pay for them.
• Any unused funds over $640 in your account at the end of the plan year will be forfeited.
• You cannot change your election amount throughout the year, unless there has been a qualifying life event.
