Late Summer Announcements & Important Dates for Your Calendar

Now through Sept 15 – OEBB Health Insurance Open Enrollment

Open enrollment is optional this year, so all faculty who currently have LCC-provided health insurance will have their insurance plan choices automatically rolled over for next year. If you have changes to dependents or wish to change your plan selection, you should log in to OEBB by September 15. Employee contributions will remain largely the same for employee only, employee plus spouse/partner, and employee plus child(ren) tiers, but for the full family tier, monthly payroll deductions will increase incrementally each year until the contractual 90% employer contribution/ 10% employee contributions threshold is reached. The increase for faculty contributions for full-family insurance will be higher this year than recent years due to the higher COLA. However, after this year, we anticipate that rate increases will be minimal for all tiers, including full-family. Faculty with full family insurance who prefer higher deductibles over payroll contributions may wish to consider Moda Plan 2 as an option instead of Moda Plan 1. Please see rate charts for contracted faculty and part-time faculty for details.
