Please sign up to enroll in medical insurance. Your coverage will be dropped if you do not meet with American Fidelity in person. They will be at the district until 11/28 (11/26-11/28). If you plan to cover a spouse, domestic partner, or child, be sure to bring in the documentation needed. As a reminder, American Fidelity should not be trying to sell you anything. They plan to go through many products they offer, but if at the outset you say you aren't interested, they will skip those for you. I had my meeting last Tuesday during their visit at GHS and it took less than ten minutes. Cheers! Your Site Rep Hi SGTA Friends,
