Texas Tech's annual enrollment period is July 14th through July 25th. Changes made during this period will be effective September 1, 2014.
In June employees will receive a personal benefits enrollment statement from the Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS), which includes information about their benefits and annual enrollment choices. Employees should receive this packet in the mail from ERS. These packets are mailed to the home address ERS has on file.
Starting July 14th, there are several ways for employees to make changes to their benefits, including:
- Accessing their online account through the ERS website at www.ers.state.tx.us
- Contacting the Texas Tech Employee Service Center at 806-742-3851
- Calling ERS at 1-877-275-4377
ERS also will setup a dedicated phone number specifically for questions about insurance enrollment. From June 30th through August 1st, employees can call 866-399-6908 between 7:30 a.m. and 7 p.m. Monday through Friday.
