Welcome to Lake County’s 2011 Annual Benefits Open Enrollment. During open enrollment you have the opportunity to enroll in or change coverage under the County’s benefits plans. The deadline to submit completed paperwork to Employee Services is 5:00 p.m. August 12, 2011. Any changes you make to your benefits elections during this period are effective October 1, 2011. As in years past, you must make elections during the open enrollment period, even if your choice is to waive coverage through the County.
