Open Enrollment for your 2024 benefits begins on October 16, 2023 and ends on November 3, 2023!
As you've likely heard by now, we have redesigned our benefits program for 2024! This means that no one will be able to keep exactly what they have now, and everyone will need to take action on benefits during the Open Enrollment period this year (10/16/23 - 11/3/23). Read about the 5 actions everyone needs to take below, or watch a video HERE !
First, you'll need login to the new Walton Cares Portal (scroll down for the link!) and make your benefits selections for 2024. Once you've logged in, you must add any dependents in the portal that you want to cover for your non-medical benefits (Dental, Vision, etc) and designate beneficiaries for life insurance and other coverage. Next, be sure to print TWO confirmation statements - one from the State Health website and another from the Walton Cares Portal. Finally, if you are adding dependents to State Health, be sure to promptly send them documentation when they request it.
Below, you will find all the resources you need to learn about each benefit and make GREAT choices for you and your family in 2024!
Choosing the best health plan depends heavily on how much you expect to use it throughout the coming year. How has your current plan worked for you this year? Do you expect significant medical expenses in the year to come? How can you use an FSA strategically with the health plan you choose?
There are new carriers for both Dental and Vision plans next year. Although the plan options remain largely unchanged, new carriers mean NEW NETWORKS! We encourage everyone to search for and use dentists and vision providers that are in network. Using in-network providers will always save you money.
As we designed our new Short-Term Disability plan, one of our goals was to ensure that we can all get as close to 100% of our pay as possible, for as long as possible, if we are disabled and cannot work. Your first line of defense to protect your pay is sick leave, followed by short and long-term disability. Click below to learn all about it!
in 2024, the board is DOUBLING the amount of life insurance they pay for on your behalf, from $10,000 to $20,000 per employee. Just like we do today, we also have additional life insurance, accident coverage, critical illness, and legal plans to choose from. The carriers are new, so be sure to click below for all the details!
