The office of Human Resources will be closed from 10:30 a.m. to 2:30 p.m. Monday, Dec. 5 for team building.

In preparation for the 2022 Holiday Shutdown, the HR Talent Acquisition team will implement the following deadlines related to hiring all positions (excluding the Division of Industry and Defense Programs). This will provide a more positive experience for candidates while ensuring positions are posted and employees are hired successfully prior to the shutdown.

• All Intake meetings must be completed by Monday, Dec. 18, 2022, and job posting wording will be confirmed with the hiring manager and posted by the Talent Acquisition team by end of day on Dec. 20, 2022.

HealthQuest is a program of the State Employee Health Plan (SEHP) which provides financial incentives, such as medical insurance premium discounts, for taking actions that promote individual health and wellness.

In 2023, HealthQuest will launch a new portal and an updated list of incentivized activities. More information will be available from SEHP in January 2023.

Also beginning January 2023, spouses covered by the SEHP will no longer be required to participate in HealthQuest. Only employees will need to participate in HealthQuest to earn the $480 annual premium discount that applies to premiums for plan year 2024 or to earn the Health Savings Account (HSA) or Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) reward dollars for plan year 2023.

The total number of credits required for plan year 2023 to earn the 2024 premium discount has not yet been set. SEHP will provide more information at a later date.

Since covered spouses will no longer be required to participate to earn the HSA or HRA reward dollars, the employer contributions are increasing for plans C and N beginning in January 2023.

Plan C

• Employee/spouse or family increasing from $1,250 to $2,000
• Employee/child(ren) increasing from $1,750 to $2,000

Plan N

• Employee spouse or family increasing from $625 to $1,125
• Employee/child(ren) increasing from $875 to $1,000
