• If you wish to participate in the pre-tax accounts, you must enroll every year, even if you are currently participating.
• You must complete the health assessment and agree to a follow-up call by a health coach to receive the lower office visit copayment in the Advantage Health Plan.

Rules for navigating State Employee Self Service

• Do not use the back or forward buttons on your browser. If you use them, you could lose any data you entered and may have to start over.
• When you go to State Employee Self Service sites, you will need to sign in to these pages by using your employee ID and your current password (this is the same process you use to view your pay stub).
• You may experience a time out while using the State Employee Self Service page. This is necessary to secure private data. Go back to the Minnesota Employee Self Service page and log in again with your ID and password.
• When making an enrollment selection, your enrollment is not complete until you check “Submit.”
