2023-2024 OPEN ENROLLMENT
Open Enrollment For Active Employees Is Now CLOSED
Open Enrollment closed Monday, August 14, 2023 at 11:59pm
Having benefits is very important to all of our employees and their families hence the reason for our constant outreach and communication. The Insurance Benefits Department emailed, sent text messages, placed a call out to all staff as well as being included in the Peachjar newsletter. Employees had the opportunity to self-enroll via the computer, mobile app, on site meetings or a call with an Explain My Benefits Enrollment Counselor.
It is important to understand the reasons we have a set “open enrollment period.” Lake County Schools is required to set an “open enrollment deadline” each year in order for us to meet the requirements of our benefit plan document and helps us to keep our premiums as low as possible for our employees and their families. This is very important to all of our employees (and their families) as we navigate the current situations for our employees and their families.
If you have experienced a qualified life event within the last 30 days, please email us the details regarding this event. Examples of a life event would be a divorce, marriage, new dependent, etc.

Monday, July 24 through Monday, August 14
Open Enrollment provides us an opportunity to re-familiarize ourselves with the many benefits offered. This is also your once-a-year opportunity to enroll in or make changes to core benefit plans for Medical, Dental and Vision, along with any supplemental coverages. Once the Open Enrollment period ends, you will not have any further opportunities to make changes for the plan year unless you experience a Qualified Life Event (QLE).
