| Resources Regarding Your Employee Benefits |
|
| Washington and Lee is committed to providing employees with a highly competitive benefits package that enhances the well-being of employees and is consistent with the strategic objectives of the university. Just a reminder to employees that there are several helpful resources regarding employee benefits. The human resources website is a great place to start. |
| Each benefit is summarized and contact information and rates for each are provided. The benefits guidebook that was provided earlier this year is also located on this site. The Employee Benefits Committee, chaired by Elizabeth Oliver, meets regularly during the academic year and they welcome your thoughts. |

| Benefits Reminder: Health Advocate |
|
| Need help resolving a health or dental insurance claim or are you looking for a specialist? Want information on in-home care, adult day care, assisted living or long-term care? Medicare and Medicare Supplement plans have your head spinning? |
| Try using the services of Health Advocate. They can help you and your family navigate healthcare and insurance-related issues. You, your spouse or partner, dependent children, parents and parents-in-law can call as often as necessary at no cost to you. Health Advocate staff follow careful protocols and comply with all government privacy standards. Your medical and personal information is kept strictly confidential. |
| During your first call, you will be assigned a Personal Health Advocate who will begin helping you right away. Personal Health Advocates are typically registered nurses, supported by medical directors and benefits and claims specialists. |
| For the many ways they can help, visit the Health Advocate page on the Human Resources website. |

| Mid-year Benefits Changes |
|
| Per IRS rules, employees enrolled in pre-tax benefit plans may only enroll, waive or make changes to their benefits once per year (during open enrollment each spring). However, you may also make changes if you experience a "Qualifying Life Event" such as marriage, birth/adoption of a child, divorce, etc. For a complete list of qualifying life events, refer to the 2022-23 Benefits Guidebook. |
• You have only 31 days following a qualifying life event to make the change in Workday.
• The requested change must correspond to the event that occurred.
• In most cases, the change will be effective the first of the month following your request in Workday.
• Proof of the event will be required (marriage certificate, notification of birth, etc.) |
| Please contact Kim Austin in human resources with any questions. |
