Including today, there are six days remaining before our Open Enrollment window closes on Tuesday, November 15. So far, more than 1,500 ACPS employees have successfully completed their Open Enrollment session in ADP! That means, nearly 970 of you have not yet done this.
As a reminder, ALL benefits-eligible staff are required to log in to ADP and either enroll in or decline benefits for next year. Please do not wait until the last few days of Open Enrollment to complete this requirement. Logging in now, while there are still several days remaining, is the best way to ensure that you have time to ask questions and get any answers you need as you consider changes, or get the help you need if you run into technical issues.

While medical insurance helps cover your medical bills, it doesn’t help you meet financial obligations like rent/mortgage and utility bills, and it doesn’t help you buy food and other necessities. This is where disability coverage comes in. Continue reading
