Top Life Employee Wellness Participants,

This is a friendly reminder that the deadline to complete your Tier II activities is September 1, 2019!

If you and your covered spouse/partner have completed Tier II requirements or you were hired in May 2019 or after you may disregard this message.

You and your covered spouse/partner must complete Tier II requirements – total of 250 points – by September 1, 2019, to maintain reduced health premiums throughout 2019. If either you or your covered spouse/partner fail to fulfill your Tier II requirements by September 1, 2019, your monthly health premium will increase effective October through December. For monthly premium increase amounts, log into the Benefits Portal and hover over ‘2019 Benefits’ and select ‘Health & Wellness’; then, from the ‘Choose A Topic’ box, click on ‘Health & Wellness’ followed by ‘The Rewards of Wellness’.

Suggested Action: Log into the Employee Wellness Portal and review your Rewards page and take appropriate action, if needed, to satisfy Tier II requirements by September 1, 2019.
