- UnitedHealthcare participants: Create your HealthSafe ID by Nov. 9. Earlier this year, UnitedHealthcare announced it was changing the sign-in process for its website and digital tools. With that change, everyone will need to log in with a HealthSafe ID—one username and password for all health care sites featuring the HealthSafe ID name. If you haven’t created your HealthSafe ID yet (some of you have already), be sure to do so by Nov. 9. Your current username and password will no longer work after that day.

- Considering your Pension Plan distribution options (generally employees hired before July 1, 2010)? Along with monthly payments, the Pension Plan offers a one-time lump-sum payment option. The lump-sum amount is based on interest rates and IRS mortality tables in effect at the time you choose to begin your Pension Plan benefit payment. The interest rates are tied to corporate bond interest rates and change on an annual basis. For each upcoming year, the Pension Plan uses the information published by the IRS for the month of August in the preceding year. That means Aug. 2016 interest rates are used for each month from Jan. 1 – Dec. 1, 2017; likewise, the Aug. 2017 interest rates will be used for Jan. 1 – Dec. 1, 2018, benefit commencement dates. The Your Benefits Resources website will be updated by the first week in October so you can use the online tools to estimate your benefit in each optional form of payment based on various dates and assumptions.
