Group Life Insurance - HOLD Please
Several items are causing errors in some
employer invoices. We will correct most
items this week, and re-post
expectations for September. We will
notify you once the new invoices are
available in ESS. Group Life
Applications for Coverage: G0001 is the
position code to use. If you've
already processed your GLI bill that is
fine. You don't need to do anything more
at this time. If you've not yet
processed your GLI bill for September,
please hold off until we notify you that
invoices are available.
Two other items needing more work are
some age based supplemental rates and
grandfathered rates. We will keep you
posted.

regular monthly payroll filings.
