If you enrolled or made changes to your benefits during the Annual Benefits Enrollment (ABE) period, you may receive new benefits ID cards.
Review your ID cards for accuracy. If you discover an error or by early January you have not received all the ID cards you expected, contact your insurance carrier. Your university’s benefits contact is not able to request ID cards on your behalf. See below for ID card information specific to each benefit plan.

For State Group Health Insurance, if you are newly enrolled or changed plan designs or insurance carriers, you will receive your ID card by early January.
