We are once again offering the online employee self-service system, MyHealthBenefits (MHB), to streamline the process! Active employees that are currently enrolled on benefits are required to use the MHB portal. Please note that retirees, COBRA members, or those enrolling for the first time do not have access to the MHB portal and instead must submit a change form to the district. All changes must be submitted to NCSMIG by Wednesday, May 31st at 5pm. No late changes or enrollments will be accepted after the deadline. Members should contact their district directly for rates and additional information.
