Benefits Enrollment
has gone PAPERLESS!!
With the deployment
of the DoN Employee Benefits Information System (EBIS) and the recent opening
of the HR Call Center, all employee benefits transactions can be accepted and processed
in a paperless environment. Beginning 1 November 2003, the HR Service
Center will not accept paper forms to make TSP, FEHB, and FEGLI changes
(note: this does not apply to those transactions previously made directly
with TSP). Changes will have to be made using either the Employee
Benefits Information System (EBIS) or the Benefits Line (1-888-320-2917).
The only exception
is that Beneficiary designations will still be made by completing and
submitting the appropriate form. Beneficiary forms can be downloaded from EBIS
or the HRSC-NW web page at http://www.donhr.navy.mil/nw/Benefits/BenefDesg.asp#form.
Any TSP, FEGLI, or
FEHB forms received by the HR Service Center after 31 October 2003 will be
returned to the employee. If forms are received in SHHRO after that date,
we will notify the employee of the change and either return the form to the
employee, or destroy the form at the request of the employee. Please contact
your employee relations specialist if you have any questions.
