[MyOEBB] Benefit Fairs - 2018 Open Enrollment

[MyOEBB system updates]

Dear Business Managers, Superintendents, and Benefits Administrators:

OEBB will continue to coordinate carrier attendance at your Benefit Fairs this fall. OEBB staff will NOT be traveling to these events, (due to state budget restraints and our small staff needing to stay in the office during this busy time), but our carriers would like to attend all of your events, if possible. Attached please find a "Best Practices" tip sheet to help you plan a successful event.

To clarify expectations, a "Benefits Fair" typically means each carrier sets up a table/booth and answers member questions one-on-one. It typically does NOT include making a formal presentation. This has been a point of confusion in the past, so our request form contains separate sections for each - hosting a booth and/or making a presentation. Please be sure to specifically request a formal presentation if you want one, so the carriers can properly prepare for your event.

Note: OEBB will be hosting Open Enrollment webinars and posting video presentations and handouts on our website so members can easily access all the information they need at their convenience. We will send you more information about those resources in future emails.

To request carriers attend your event, please use the online form<https://form.jotform.com/50764744000953> available on the Administrator Resources page of the OEBB website. (Under "I Want To ..." click Request Carriers Attend My Benefits Fair<https://form.jotform.com/50764744000953>.)

You may request any date you would like for your event, but the last two weeks in August are typically the most popular, which makes it a challenge to accommodate everyone's requests. If you are able to schedule your meeting(s) in early September, the carriers should have more availability then.

Thank you for helping us educate OEBB members about their benefits. If you have questions about scheduling an event or submitting an event request, please call OEBB Member Services at 888-469-6322 or send an email to: oebb.benefits at state.or.us<mailto:oebb.benefits at state.or.us>.
