Cash Option Enrollments/Reenrollments
Employees, except permanent intermittent (PI) employees, currently enrolled in the Cash Option will be automatically reenrolled into the Cash Option for the next FlexElect Plan Year. It is not necessary for these employees to complete a Cash Option Enrollment Authorization (STD. C) during the open enrollment period, unless they wish to cancel or change their Cash Option enrollment.
Exception to Automatic Reenrollment
PI employees must reenroll each FlexElect Open Enrollment Period in order to receive the Cash Option. The automatic enrollment continuation does not apply to PIs because part of their eligibility requires completion of a specific number of work hours each c level executive list plan year and a separate payment process. For more information please see PI Eligibility for Cash Option in Section , Permanent-Intermittent (PI) Enrollment.
New enrollments
Employees who are not currently enrolled in the Cash Option, and wish to enroll for the following FlexElect Plan Year, must complete a Cash Option Enrollment Authorization (STD. C) during the current FlexElect Open Enrollment Period. After initially enrolling in the Cash Option, enrollment will automatically continue in future plan years. In order to cancel or change a Cash Option enrollment due to a change in status event or during open enrollment, employees are required to complete a STD. C.
Other forms and coordination between departments
If other enrollment forms (i.e. HBD-, or Health Benefit and Enrollment History page after confirmation from my|CalPERS, STD. , etc.) are also being submitted for the spouse/domestic partner of an employee, they must be coordinated and submitted as a package, along with the employee's FlexElect form. The department with the employee who is enrolling in FlexElect must assume the responsibility of coordinating all of the forms. If both employees enroll in FlexElect, one of the departments must assume responsibility for coordinating all of the forms. All forms should be reviewed by the Personnel Office to ensure they are completed accurately.
The FlexElect Open Enrollment Period allows FlexElect enrollees and their State-employed spouses/domestic partners to coordinate their health benefit enrollment. During the open enrollment period, both FlexElect enrollees, spouses, and domestic partners who maintain the traditional health coverage may change health plans.
All FlexElect open enrollment packages must be sent to SCO at the following address:
