Haven’t enrolled yet?                  

Don’t forget to take action and complete your certifications before the end of Open Enrollment (Friday, November 5th)!

Action Required: Complete your certifications. Remember, if you are enrolled in a USG healthcare plan, you must re-certify your tobacco user status and working spouse status during the USG Open Enrollment period. (Note: The working spouse surcharge does not apply to retirees.)

 FSAs and HSAs move from Optum to HSA Bank. Effective January 1, 2022, HSA Bank will be our new spending account vendor.

• Flexible Spending Account (FSA): If you wish to participate in an FSA for 2022, you must re-enroll during Open Enrollment. Your 2022 contributions will go to HSA Bank, and you will continue to use your Optum debit card for your 2021 expenses.
• Health Savings Account (HSA): If you currently have an HSA with Optum, you will be asked to approve the transfer of your account funds from Optum to HSA Bank during Open Enrollment through OneUSG Connect – Benefits. Approving the transfer means you’ll access your funds through HSA Bank, and you will earn $50 after the transfer is complete. To be eligible for the $50 deposit, you must be eligible for HSA contributions in 2022.

You will receive a new HSA Bank debit card the last week of December. Learn more by visiting the HSA Bank booth at the system wide Virtual Benefits Fair.
