The 2021 tobacco-user surcharge will remain $35 bi-weekly. All employees enrolled in VU’s healthcare plan must certify annually whether you and/or your spouse (if the spouse is covered by VU’s plan) use tobacco products or are tobacco-free. As in previous years, the Tobacco Affidavit must be completed electronically and can be found on the Human Resources page by selecting Benefits, Open Enrollment, and then 2021 Tobacco Affidavit. Once the Affidavit has been completed, you will receive a confirmation email in your preferred email account. The deadline to complete this Affidavit is Friday, November 13, 2020, by 4 pm for the 2021 plan year. If the online certification is not completed, the surcharge will be automatically applied effective January 1, 2021, and will remain in place for the entire 2021 plan year.
Please submit the forms for your enrollment changes and annual Flexible Spending Account elections, and update your 2021 Online Tobacco Affidavit by the November 13, 2020 deadline. If you have any questions related to Open Enrollment or VU Benefits, please contact Chris Gardner, VU’s Benefits Coordinator, at 812.888.5847 or cgardner@vinu.edu.
Stay Well!
