Note from Portico Benefits Services
Health care reform will likely bring significant change to the ELCA health plan in 2014. Some of you may have seen a webinar we offered to discuss the Supreme Court's Decision and ELCA Health Coverage. If you weren't able to attend the live broadcast or would like to share with others, a recording is now available. Either click here to listen, or copy this link into your browser: https://vimeo.com/45843615.
As regulations evolve, Portico is committed to sharing developments with you. You can find current information at www.elcabop.org/notice. Watch for more health care reform webinars coming soon!

Summer office schedule
For six weeks each summer, the synod office closes at noon on Fridays. The summer schedule started on Jul. 6 and will run through Aug.10. In addition, staff sabbaticals and transitions this summer mean that some days the office is thinly staffed. Please check in before you stop by, and be mindful of the construction on University Ave.
