Human services workers in social service agencies generally spend part of the time in the office and the rest of the time in the field. Most work a 40-hour week. Some evening and weekend work may be necessary, but compensatory time off is usually granted.
General open enrollment in the individual market for 2017 coverage runs from November 1, 2016 through January 31, 2017. The earliest possible effective date during that open enrollment session is January 1, 2017.
Coverage begins at a specified date after open enrollment and usually runs for a full year. Some companies hold open enrollment in the fall, and coverage is effective from January 1 through December 31. If you want the best service from your agent or broker and the insurer, however, you may want to avoid the rush by planning your open enrollment period off-peak. For example, for a coverage year of July 1 to June 30, open enrollment would be in the spring.
