changes. That means the earliest you would be able to make updates to the December pay period is Monday December 5.<o:p></o:p></span></p>

<p class="MsoNormal">OSPS is in the process of finishing up our testing for PEBB 2017 changes. The current plan is to migrate our changes, update the deduction codes with 2017 rates and outdate all PEBB related codes on the P070 & P050 by December 1. As we
complete each of these tasks OSPS will send updates via eNews. Once we have outdated all the PEBB codes we are planning to load open enrollment transactions from PEBB on December 3.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">If there are changes to this current plan we will let you know.<o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal"><o:p> </o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal">One other note: the 2017 processing calendar is going through some final edits and will be published next week. Look for that eNews as well.<o:p></o:p></p>
