MyBenefits

The Office of Human Resources encourages subscribers to register now for MyBenefits (see link below). As we approach Fall Enrollment please verify that your information is correct prior to October to help speed up the process of making your changes online. My Benefits allows employees to view State Insurance Benefits, update contact information and their beneficiaries.  With this functionality employees may print their State Insurance Benefits Statement 24/7.  As a result, hard copy statements for insurance will not be distributed in October.   Benefits staff will continue to provide counseling and assistance.  Please contact the Insurance Unit if you need assistance to register.
