(EDITOR’S NOTE: The following is a note from UNMC Benefits and Worklife Programs.)
Benefits re-enrollment packets were mailed out from Central Administration in Lincoln on Friday and should be received today or Tuesday at the very latest through intercampus mail.
NUFlex re-enrollment opens today and closes at 5 p.m. on Friday, Dec. 5.
The UNMC Benefits Office encourages employees to re-enroll online using the university’s business portal, Firefly. Next year’s enrollment will, more than likely, only be available online so we are highly encouraging you to re-enroll online this year to get familiar with the process.
NUFlex presentations are scheduled for Thursday, Nov. 20 from 9 to 10 a.m. and Tuesday, Nov. 25 from noon to 1 p.m., both in the College of Nursing, Room 1010 and Monday, Nov. 24 from 11:45 a.m. to 12:45 p.m. in Lincoln at the College of Dentistry, Room 6.
Benefits staff also will be available to answer your benefits and online enrollment questions from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m., Monday through Friday by calling Jo at 559-4340, Dana at 559-5911 and/or Jan before noon at 559-7403.
To re-enroll online:
- You will need your Firefly ID (in most instances this is your Lotus Notes short name, for example Jane Doe would probably be “jdoe”).
- If you have forgotten, or do not know, your password, you can request one by clicking on “Forgotten your password” from the main Firefly log-on screen. An e-mail will be sent to you via Lotus Notes e-mail. The e-mail message will be encrypted and therefore, it can only be read when using a Lotus Notes client (not from logging in through the Web). If you are unable to read your e-mail you will need to contact the SAP Support Desk (see contact information below).
- There is a link at the top of the Firefly page (right above the UNMC Today) that includes two tutorials, a short version and a longer version, that will help walk you through the steps.
If you would like assistance re-enrolling online:
- A computer has been set up in the Benefits Department (Administration Building, Room 2015) to assist you if you do not have access to one or would like assistance completing the process online.
- Computer time is available by appointment only (15-minute appointments); to schedule an appointment contact Dana at 559-5911.
- In order for us to assist you, you must bring your ID and password to your scheduled appointment. If you do not know your ID and password contact SAP Help Desk (see contact information below) prior to arranging you appointment.
- Have all benefits decisions made prior to coming to the office and logging on to the computer.
