DO YOU NEED TO UPDATE YOUR INFORMATION?
It is important to be sure that the Consolidated Benefits Office has the correct contact information, including a valid email address, on file for you. This ensures that you receive all communications, reminders, and announcements their office sends throughout the year. For example, each year they send Open Enrollment communications alerting you to the deadlines and benefit plan changes – you don’t want to miss out! Benefit plan vendors also use the information they have on file to contact you. Please take time to update your information. Log in to the Benefitfocus platform at vbgov.com/benefits/enroll and access your profile to update your email or download the Retiree Name & Contact Change Packet from the Retired Employees page on vbgov.com/benefits (Forms tab).
