You may enroll in the dental plan during the open enrollment period. Premiums are paid one month in advance and are deducted from the first paycheck of each month.
Dental insurance can only be cancelled during the open enrollment period, generally in August.
The NEW Solutions benefits administrator, will provide you with information about the Dental Care Plan.
