The University of Houston System (“System”) is partnering with Aflac and MetLife to sponsor several optional benefit plans for System benefits-eligible employees through payroll deduction. These supplemental benefits are in addition to the benefits currently offered by the Employee Retirement System (“ERS”); however, the cost of each product will be the employee’s sole responsibility and will not be supplemented in any way by the university or System.
The products being offered are Aflac’s Accident, Cancer, Critical Illness and Hospital Protection plans, and MetLife’s Universal Life with Long-Term Care plan.
The open enrollment period for these new benefits is scheduled for May 2 through August 5, 2011. All active, benefits-eligible employees are invited to participate. Before the open enrollment period begins, employees will have access to extensive resources to facilitate making an informed decision.
Free Confidential Benefit Consultations (by appointment during the open enrollment period):
Additional information on these products may be obtained by going directly to each vendor’s website as follows:
