A number of significant changes are being made to the staff/visitor search program at www.people.ucar.edu. The changes will be made available at 5:15pm on Monday, November 24th. Here is a description of the changes: Fonts have been changed to improve readability on all platforms. E-mail addresses shown in results have been modified to reduce the likelihood of your address falling into the wrong hands (e-mail mass marketers, mostly). A lookup feature has been added for systems administrators to use to find names of inactive users.
For more information, contact Leonard Sitongia at 2454,

Starting in 2004, UCAR is offering participants in the Health Care Flexible Spending account an option to receive a 'stored value' MasterCard to pay for your out of pocket health care expenses. The card can be used to pay for your co-payments, deductibles, dental care, prescriptions, or any qualifying out of pocket health expenses. The card serves as submission of a claim and receipt of reimbursement. This eliminates the need to manually submit claims to Denver Reserve. It's advised that you always save your receipt in case you are asked to prove the validity of the transaction. Two free cards will be provided to participants with an annual election of $1,000 or more. Participants with an annual election of less than $1,000 may purchase the card for $24 (pre-tax). The cost is automatically deducted from your Flexible Spending account. The Benny MasterCard will be offered only during Open Enrollment and for new participants throughout the year. You must check the box on the Flexible Spending enrollment page in the Open Enrollment web site to receive the card. The link to the Open Enrollment web site is http://www.fin.ucar.edu/ucarflex.
For more information, contact Cyd Perrone at 8710, cperrone@ucar.edu.
