Benefits

ERS Benefits Information Sessions
HR Benefits staff members will be visiting each campus in late-May and mid-June to discuss changes to the Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS) Group Benefit Plan (GBP) for Fiscal Year 2011 (effective September 1, 2010). The ERS Board of Trustees will meet Tuesday, May 25 to approve and announce changes to the GBP.

HR Benefits anticipates cost changes for the insurance plans offered to ACC employees. While we will not know the specifics of the changes today, we anticipate having that information after the ERS Board meeting May 25^th and in time for the campus visits. We offer these sessions to keep our employees as informed as possible and to allow employees an opportunity to ask staff members’ questions in person.
