Welcome all eligible employees to our on-line open enrollment site. We encourage you to utilize the forms and information on this page, to quickly sign up for City of Lincoln benefits.

For the new City plan year that begins November 1^st 2008 and goes through October 31, 2009 we have on this web page all of the forms and information you will need for this years open enrollment. Also, PLEASE KEEP IN MIND THAT ALL OPEN ENROLLMENT INFORMATION MUST BE RECEIVED IN THE PERSONNEL DEPARTMENT BY SEPTEMBER 15, 2008.

This year, if you are not making any additions, deletions or other changes to your HEALTH, DENTAL or VISION insurance coverages, you DO NOT NEED TO COMPLETE ANY FORMS. If you ARE making changes to these coverages you WILL HAVE TO COMPLETE A FORM BY printing it, completing it fully and then either mailing, or bringing this in to the Benefits area of the Personnel Department on the 1^st floor of the County City Building at 555 S. 10^th Street, Lincoln, NE 68508.

For PayFlex flexible benefits coverages, PLEASE BE AWARE THAT YOU MUST COMPLETE A FORM EVERY PLAN YEAR, making sure to break your total contribution into a pay period amount by dividing the total by the 26 City pay periods for the plan year. This year the UNREIMBURSED HEALTH CARE EXPENSE ACCOUNT plan year maximum is $5,000. The DEPENDENT/CHILD CARE EXPENSE ACCOUNT PLAN MAXIMUM REMAINS AT $5,000, or $2,500 if you and your spouse file separate tax returns. However, remember to be conservative with this option because of the "USE IT OR LOSE IT" consequences of these accounts.

We also have a Payflex Parking Reimbursement plan, that may be used to put aside money pre-tax for parking related expenses that are required for employment. This requires a separate enrollment form, that MUST BE COMPLETED ANNUALLY IF YOU ARE ENROLLING IN THIS PLAN.

We hope that you enjoy the on-line open enrollment option, and we would appreciate any feedback you have regarding this benefit option. Please be sure to check the streaming video explanations for each specific coverage, and review all of the information contained on this site before making any changes to your benefits. All benefit vendors have also provided phone or e-mail support in case you have any questions.
