You must now wait until the next annual enrollment to make changes to your benefits.  You may request a change to your benefits only under certain limited situations.  Read the section on Enrollment Changes during the Plan Year: Change in Status in your Summary Plan Description (SPD). The SPD is available at mylacountybenefits.com, or visit the DHR website at dhr.lacounty.info and click on Employee Benefits then Flexible Benefits for a list of cafeteria plans.

If you did not enroll, your benefits will remain the same for 2010, with the following exceptions:

n your medical waiver (for Options participants only) will be cancelled, and you will automatically be enrolled in PacifiCare HMO for 2010.
-- your HealthCare Spending Account will be cancelled.
-- your Dependent Care Spending Account will be cancelled.
-- your Elective Annual Leave (for MegaFlex participants only) will be cancelled.
