Tribune Employees Benefits Enrollment

The following hard copy message was left for me with much of the text absent this morning, which prompted me to insert adlibbed text.

Subject: Message from Mike Bourgon/Benefits Enrollment Nov. 10 – 21

As a reminder, open enrollment for 2009 benefits is being held Nov. 10 – 21. This year we’re conducting an open enrollment. That means if you don’t make elections, we’ll make every effort to default you into the plans that match what you have currently.

Beginning Jan. 1, all of Tribune’s health and wellness benefits will be offered exclusively through UnitedHealthCare, to learn more about UHC and locate your physician in the network by visiting www.myuhc.com/groups/tribune or at 800/243-0656.

As in previous years, everyone will enroll on eBenefits via www.tribuneathome.com or TribLink (you’ll need your username and password to log on). Be sure to select the Sign Out icon when you have completed your enrollment and print your elections from eBenefits – you won’t receive a confirmation statement at your home.

Additional information about the changes for 2009 is available on eBenefits. If you have any questions about enrolling contact Tribune Benefits Service Center at 800/877-2222.
