This is the Premium Conversion Cafeteria Plan and it effectively decreases your cost of the Value Plan, the PPO Plan, the Dental Plan and the Vision Plan. Please read the Premium Conversion Cafeteria Plan guidelines below.
• When you elect to participate in the Value Plan, a PPO Plan, the Dental Plan or the Vision Plan, you automatically elect to participate in the Premium Conversion Cafeteria Plan.
• Enrollment, changes, or cancellations for these plans are allowed at the following times only :
    o Within 60 days from date of hire or date you moved into an eligible class
    o During the annual enrollment period each year.
    o Change in the family status- changes to insurance must be received by the        Health+ Service Center within 31 days of change in family status.
