NCFlex is a program of pre-tax benefits
plans available for State agency and University employees, and offers
the following plans:
All NCFlex plan benefits operate on a
calendar year basis, January 1 through December 31.
The NCFlex Program annual enrollment
period occurs during October with benefit elections taking effect
January 1 of the next year. Enrollment materials should be reviewed
prior to the enrollment period so an informed decision can be made
regarding participation and certain elections must be made annually to
continue involvement. Flexible spending accounts require annual
elections while all other NC Flex programs automatically continue if no
change is made during the enrollment period. Upon election of any NCFlex
benefit, no change can be made during that year unless there is a change
in family or employment status.
Eligibility and Effective Date
Employees who work 20 or more hours per week in a permanent,
probationary, or time-limited position are eligible for the NCFlex
program. Newly hired employees must enroll within 30 days of their
employment at UNC Asheville and participation begins the first day of
the month following the employment start date.
Employees who do not enroll in NCFlex
benefits within the first 30 days of employment are eligible to enroll
during annual enrollment period; however, waiting periods and evidence
of insurability may apply and coverage could be denied in some cases.
Please visit the NCFlex website at
www.ncflex.org for
details.
If you have a change in family or
employment status, please contact the Benefits Representative within 30
days of the event for information about making changes to your benefits.
