New Benefit Alert: MetLife Identity & Fraud Protection

MetLife now offers Identity & Fraud Protection powered by Aura, a comprehensive digital security solution that safeguards employees and their families from identity theft, financial fraud, and online scams. It includes real-time credit monitoring, AI-driven alerts, device protection, and a $5 million identity theft insurance policy per adult, plus child safety tools and 24/7 U.S.-based support. Accessible via a mobile app and available at discounted group rates through payroll deduction, this benefit provides peace of mind from day one.

New for 2026: Humana Dental with More Coverage & Choice

Starting January 1, 2026, Humana will replace Delta Dental as the new dental benefits provider, offering employees access to a larger nationwide network and more flexible plan options. With both PPO and Prepaid plan choices, Humana brings added value through no waiting periods, predictable costs, and expanded coverage—including implants, teledentistry, and exclusive member discounts on vision, hearing, and wellness services. Whether you’re seeking preventive care or specialized treatment, Humana’s robust network and enhanced benefits are designed to support your overall health and make dental care more convenient and affordable.

Allstate is taking over the Accident Plan from Trustmark—and that’s not all! They’re also enhancing the current SHOP and Group Critical policies with better benefits, higher payouts, and lower rates.

Open Enrollment: Your Once-a-Year Chance to Update Benefits

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to make changes to your benefits, such as changing or opting out of health plans, changing your contribution to your medical or dependent care flexible spending account, or making changes to dental, vision, or voluntary insurance selections. Your changes become effective January 1, 2026. After Open Enrollment ends, the next opportunity to make changes will be during the 2027 Open Enrollment period, except for changes due to certain qualifying events, such as marriage, divorce, and the birth of a child.
