Over the past year, HR has been carefully evaluating ways to improve the enrollment experience and strengthen the benefits available to our employees. We are excited to announce April 1, 2026, we will launch Employee Navigator, a new online benefits administration system that will allow employees to electronically enroll in or make changes to their coverage.
As part of preparing for this transition to an online platform, we conducted a review of our current benefit offerings. During this process, we identified several existing products that cannot be supported through electronic enrollment. To ensure a seamless move to the new system and to continue offering high quality benefits, MSU will offer similar or enhanced coverage options.
As a result, the following plans will be discontinued effective April 30, 2026, and will no longer be payroll deducted:
- Aflac Accident
- Aflac Cancer
- Aflac Critical Care
- Aflac Intensive Care
- National Fire Union AD&D
These plans will be replaced with a suite of new and updated Aflac offerings, including:
- Accident Insurance
- Cancer Insurance
- Critical Care Insurance
- Hospital Indemnity
- Term Life Insurance with Long-Term Care included
Employees currently enrolled in any of the plans scheduled for discontinuation will receive direct communication with details about this transition. In addition, all benefits eligible employees will have the opportunity to enroll in the new Aflac plans during our upcoming enrollment period April 1–15, 2026.
More information will be shared in the coming weeks. Please watch for additional communication from HRM outlining next steps, plan details, and important dates. We will also host an informational webinar to help employees learn more about the new Aflac options and navigate the transition to Employee Navigator.
We look forward to rolling out these enhancements and supporting you through each step of the transition.
