You are able to make changes to benefit selections outside of the Open Enrollment period if you experience a "Qualifying Life Event".

Some examples of "Qualifying Life Events":

  • Birth/Adoption
  • Marriage
  • Divorce
  • Death
  • Loss of Health Coverage 

You have 30 days from the date of a life event to change your benefits.  To start this process, please visit MESSA to access or create your MYMESSA member account.  From there, you will create a "Life Event" in your MESSA Online Benefit Website.  The User Guide below will give you step-by-step instructions for each part of the process.  Additionally, the "Library" section of the Online Benefits Website contains plan information and other helpful resources for each benefit. 

MESSA Employee User Guide

Important Information:

  • Adding benefits due to loss of coverage requires that you provide supporting documentation to substantiate this life event. Examples of these documents are a COBRA notice or a loss of coverage letter.  This document must be uploaded to your Employee File.  For instructions, please consult the User Guide.
  • To add spouse/dependents to your benefit plan(s), you must submit supporting documentation, such as a marriage license or birth certificate.  For a birth, please include a copy of the verification of birth from the hospital.  Documents must be uploaded to your Employee File.  For instructions, please consult the User Guide.
  • If you are waiving medical coverage, please complete the Waiver of Group Health Benefits form located in the Library.  The completed form should be e-mailed to cvsbenefits@cvs.k12.mi.us.  You must complete this form annually to receive cash in lieu payments, if applicable.
  • Please elect beneficiaries for your life insurance policy.  You will be prompted to complete this information during the enrollment process.  If you fail to name beneficiaries, your life insurance proceeds will need to go through probate in the event of your death.

New Employees

Welcome to Chippewa Valley Schools!

If you are a new employee to the district and new to MPSERS (Michigan Public School Employees Retirement System), you have 75 calendar days from the date of your first pay to make a retirement plan election.  Following are some very important resources to assist you in this process.  Please note that the district is not able to provide guidance on your plan election.  If you have questions, contact ORS directly and/or your financial advisor.

ORS has provided a six-minute video that briefly reviews your plan options and guides you to additional available resources.  Please click the link Choosing Your Retirement Plan to view this video.  This is a very important first step in your plan election process.

PickMiPlan is an ORS website dedicated to providing resources related to your retirement plan options.   As noted in the video, ORS will also send you a letter with your member identification number notifying you that your plan election period has opened.  They will also send a reminder letter as you approach the end of your 75-day election window.
