Where do I go to make my elections?

• Login to OneUSG. Click "Employee Self-Service" in the top left corner of the screen and selecte "Benefits" from the drop down menu then click on "Manage My Benefits" and follow the prompts on the screen.
• Or, visit https://oneusgconnect.usg.edu and on the right side of the screen under "Active USG Employees," click on "Manage My Benefits" then follow the prompts on the screen.

What if I'm not comfortable with a computer?

• Call OneUSG Connect Benefits at 1-844-587-4236, and they can assist you with making your benefit elections via phone.
• Or, schedule an appointment with a Virtual Benefits Counselor at https://benefitsgo.com/USG.
• Or, attend an on-campus open session with Georgia College & State University Benefits in the Wooten-Garner House. Just drop in during these times. There is no need to schedule an appointment:
  • Monday, Oct. 27, from 2:30 p.m. to 4 p.m.
  • Thursday, Oct. 30, from 10:30 a.m. to noon
  • Monday, Nov. 3, from noon to 1:30 p.m.
  • Friday, Nov. 7, from 9:30 a.m. to noon

What if I don't want to change anything regarding my health insurance? Do I still need to login and do anything, or can I just skip the process?

• You must answer all applicable surcharge questions. Failure to do so will result in the default status of "yes" and the $150/month surcharge for all of the following that apply:
  • Employee tobacco user
  • Covered spouse tobacco user
  • Dependent(s) age 18+
  • Working spouse
• If you are enrolled in a HSA or FSA, you must re-enroll. This is not automatic and does not renew annually without action.
• It's best practice to review your beneficiaries for all the things since you're in the system!
  • Basic life insurance, supplemental life insurance, HSA, 403(b), 457(b) - even consider checking your TRS account (if applicable - use a separate sign in).

I called the OneUSG Connect Benefits Call Center, and they scheduled an appointment to follow-up with me. Where do I go for that appointment?

• If you reached out via phone to OneUSG Connect Benefits (1-844-587-4236), they will call you at the number you provided at your appointment time.
