2024-2025 Benefits Guide
Drees offers you and your eligible family members a comprehensive and valuable benefits program. We encourage you to take the time to educate yourself about your options and choose the coverage which best meets your needs. You may review benefit summaries and plan certificates in Optavise or on DreesNet.
WHAT INFORMATION WILL I NEED?
If you are electing coverage for a spouse or dependent, you must have the following:
• Social Security Number
• Date of Birth
• Dependent Verification (Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, Adoption Papers, Court Order for Children, etc.)
CAN I MAKE CHANGES TO MY ELECTIONS?
After you make your elections, you will not be able to make any changes unless you experience a qualifying event. Qualifying events include marriage, birth, adoption, divorce, loss of coverage, and death. If you experience a qualifying event, you must make your desired benefit changes within 31 days of the event. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the next open enrollment for benefits effective August 1, 2025.
