• This year USD 383 has elected to add a feature called Evergreen. Evergreen allows for those individuals who do not re-enroll (online or in-person) in a health plan by August 4th to have their enrollment rollover from the previous year.
• For example, if you have previously chosen to not enroll in district insurance, Evergreen would continue this selection on your behalf should you choose not to re-enroll online or in-person.
• Those with current Flex Savings Health Plans, HSA accounts, and Dependent Childcare Reimbursement with the intent to continue, will still need to re-enroll in these specific plans as Evergreen will not re-enroll in these programs without authorized user consent.
• Individuals who have previously elected one of these three plans will be receiving separate correspondence from our department to serve as an extra reminder to be sure to re-enroll in this option should they want to continue.
