Other notices must be distributed annually, and employers often choose to include them in their open enrollment materials for convenience. Some benefit notices apply to all group health plans. Other benefit notices only apply to certain group health plans, based on plan design and coverage. Employers should review their open enrollment materials to make sure they are accurately reflecting the terms and cost of coverage. Any plan design changes for 2022 should be communicated to employees through a summary of material modifications (SMM) or an updated plan description (SPD).
