On 03-22-10, it was mentioned on our website that AT&T FMLA Operations was honoring Earth Day in a Green Way. Instead of receiving FMLA Status Notifications(FMLA5) by U.S. Mail employees will receive notification by email effective April 19, 2010.
Employees may receive notifications at work and/or their personal email address.
Anyone not already enrolled in the program will begin receiving FMLA notifications by email at their AT&T work email address. To self enroll prior to April 19th or to add a personal email address after April 19th visit https://intra.att.com/fmla/email via the intranet or https://www.e-access.sbc.com/intra att/fmla/email/ from home.
**IMPORTANT*** Employees who do NOT have regular access to email or DO NOT WANT TO RECEIVE NOTIFICATIONS BY EMAIL must contact HROneStop on 1-888-722-1STP or by sending an email to HRONESTOP-FMLA to be placed on a “Do Not Switch to email” list by April 16, 2010

This week employees should receive, via company email, a copy of a News Now regarding changes to the FMLA process. What you receive is shown below:
AT&T FMLA Operations Honors Earth Day in a Green Way
If you received any FMLA Status Notifications by U.S. Main in 2009, you contributed to their 2.6 million pieces of outgoing mail. Approximately 320 trees could have been spared by sending those FMLA letters via email.
Human resources is helping you contribute to AT&T’s commitment to sustainability by sending all Status Notifications (FMLASs) by email beginning April 19th 2010.

Every bargained employee needs to go to the benefits website at www.resources.hewitt.com/att. Once you have logged in make sure you review and complete the enrollment. The enrollment period will end on March 9, 2010 at 7:00pm. The changes will take effect April 1, 2010. You need to do this even if you did the annual enrollment in October.
PAY CLOSE ATTENTION TO DEPENDENT COVERAGE AND VOLUNTARY PLANS(Careplus, Supplemental Life, Child Life Insurance, etc). MOST EVERYONE IS SHOWN AS “SMOKERS” UNDER THE LIFE INSURANCE BENEFIT. Also the SPOUSAL & CHILD LIFE INSURANCE has additional coverage options available. Make sure ALL your dependents are listed. Also check to see if your doctor is in “network”. (Go to www.myuhc.com). Make the necessary changes.
Below are some examples of the changes:
1. You MUST meet the annual deductible before the insurance pays anything.
2. Once the annual deductible has been met you are responsible for 10% of the remain-
ing fees until you have met the annual maximum out-of-pocket.
3. Preventive in-network services paid at 100%
4. No coverage for preventative services out-of-network.
5. After you meet your annual maximum out-of -pocket the plan pays 100%
for in-network services.
6. No deductible for prescriptions.
It is strongly recommended that once you have completed your enrollment that you print it for your records.
If you need assistance contact the AT&T Benefits Center at 877 722-0020 between the hours of 7:00am and 7:00pm. You will need to know your password when calling.
If you have additional questions contact Misty Oliver via email to knowyourbenefits@sbcglobal.net or call (806) 441-5411.
Again the deadline is MARCH 9TH at 7:00pm.
