LOCAL/NATIONAL UPDATES!!
FEHB Open Season Reminder
If you've been considering changing or updating your Health Insurance, you must do it between 10 Nov and 8 Dec. We've added a link to a price comparison chart for most if not all the plans that you can opt for. You can access the rate chart by clicking here. Good luck everyone and we hope that everyone has a wonderful time this holiday season.
After looking at the HIGH POTENTIAL of big savings with a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), we have placed a link to a FSAFeds Brochure that explains how the FSA spending account works. If any of you have out of pocket expenses of around $250 a year or if you and your spouse are both working with daycare expenditures, then you MIGHT WANT TO TAKE A LOOK AT THIS PROGRAM. You can access the brochure by clicking here.
RECRUITING DRIVE
The 2009 RECRUITING DRIVE kicks off 1 Nov 08 and will end 15 Jun 09. I've had some technicians ask where to get the forms to sign up. Click here and a forms package will open that can be printed out. Follow the instructions and get the form to the Chapters mailing address. Make sure you include who your recruiter was so that we may reward them appropriately like the National Office and the Chapter did with Mr. Simmons.
