Lock in Your Organization's 2015 ELCA-Primary Health Benefit Option
Between now and Oct. 17, your organization will need to select one ELCA-Primary health benefit option to provide in 2015 (even if your plan members currently waive ELCA-Primary health benefits). Check your mail - we recently sent an enrollment booklet to your organization's president or director.

 

You can either continue your current option into 2015 or consider a different one. To get started, head to EmployerLink. There, you'll find information to help you and other decision-makers select your option.

 

Your plan members will enter their 2015 benefit decisions Oct. 27 - Nov. 21. Already made your selection? Thank you! 
Soft registration open for 2015 ELCA Youth Gathering
Is your youth group attending the ELCA Youth Gathering in Detroit? In preparation for registration opening on October 15, Primary Adult Leaders may begin entering their group information in the ELCA's database. Once registration officially opens on Oct. 15 leaders can simply upload the information they have completed for an easy and quick registration process! You can go to elca.org/youthgathering  to start entering your youth group's information.
