As summer approaches, it’s time to prepare for the annual benefits enrollment period. The designated phase for Texas Woman’s University is June 28 through July 10. Benefits-eligible employees will have the opportunity to enroll in new benefits programs or change current coverage for themselves and/or their eligible dependents during this period. If you want to maintain your current benefits coverage, you don’t have to do anything.

ERS (Employees Retirement System) designates a two-week phase for each institute of higher education and state agency in Texas. ERS encourages participants to call ERS during the designated phase in order to limit hold times; however, ERS online will be open throughout the entire summer enrollment period.

Information regarding summer enrollment — including health plan, dental plan and vision plan charts — are available at https://www.ers.texas.gov/Summer-Enrollment. ERS and the Texas Employee Group Benefits Program (GBP) plan administrators will host several hour-long summer enrollment webinars instead of traditional in-person fairs this year. Registration is available at www.ers.texas.gov/Event-Calendars.

If you need any assistance regarding summer enrollment or have questions, contact the benefits team: Holly Harris at hharris1@twu.edu, Lisa Taylor at ltaylor16@twu.edu or Angela Cagle at acagle@twu.edu.
