Chairman's Report November 3

_____________________________________

From Paula Betnar

If you have been on layoff for a year or more and have not been offered COBRA by the company please contact Paula Betnar at 479-434-0245.

ATTN All employees and those on layoff:

Remember to send in your dependant audit information to Chapman Kelly.

Also, if anyone has been cut off of insurance before you turned 65 please contact Jake Zadny in HR at 479-648-4224.

_____________________________________

IF YOU ARE ON LAYOFF

I have been told that people on layoff should hold on to their relia-cards once they get new ones because if there is an extension granted the funds will be put onto the old card.  Hang on to all cards sent to you.
