  <body><![CDATA[<p>The new benefits administration system from the University System of Georgia, OneUSG Connect, will be live Monday, June 26.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The OneUSG Connect system offers two new ways for employees to access benefits and will streamline benefit processes at Georgia Tech: <strong>OneUSG Connect &ndash; Benefits Website</strong> and <strong>OneUSG Connect &ndash; Benefits Call Center</strong>.&nbsp;</p>

<ul>
	<li>Enroll in benefits during annual enrollment or upon becoming benefits-eligible.</li>
	<li>Make qualified life event changes.</li>
	<li>Prepare for retirement.</li>
	<li>Designate beneficiaries.</li>
	<li>Find vendors.</li>
	<li>Compare health care plans.</li>
	<li>Review plan information and resources.&nbsp;</li>
</ul>

<p>The online system will be accessible to employees through TechWorks, at <a href="http://techworks.gatech.edu"><strong>techworks.gatech.edu</strong></a>. Users can look for a doctor&nbsp;icon under Applications and Resources beginning June 26.</p>

<p>The OneUSG Connect &ndash; Benefits Call Center can be reached at 1-844-5USGBEN (1-844-587-4236).</p>

  <!--  TO DO: correct to not conflate categories and news room topics  -->
  <!--  Disquisition: it's funny how I write these TODOs and then never
         revisit them. It's as though the act of writing the thing down frees me
         from the responsibility to actually solve the problem. But what can I
         say? There are more problems than there's time to solve.  -->
