If you have used tobacco products and answer “Yes” to the tobacco use question(s), you will be assessed a higher tobacco user premium on your Medical (if any) and Voluntary Life Insurance. If you do not answer the tobacco use question, you will pay the higher tobacco user premium for Medical and Voluntary Life Insurance coverage – even if you are not a tobacco user.
• Enroll family members for healthcare coverage.
• You must make a Healthcare and/or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account election each year if you want either or both of these accounts.
