Employee Benefits Resources for COVID-19

1. Updating your benefits due to loss of coverage for you or a family member:
  • Adding coverage: If you or a member of your immediate family loses insurance coverage you are qualified to join DSST’s plans (click here to view details on qualifying life events). Team members can follow this guide to initiate a “qualifying life event” in the Workday benefits app. You will be required to submit proof of loss of coverage (a letter from the company/provider stating the date you lost coverage is sufficient) and complete your benefits enrollment within 30 days after the last day of coverage for you/your family member. Please reach out to your campus dedicated HR representative or humanresources@scienceandtech.org if you need support.

Supporting Local Restaurants

As we all know, all restaurants, bars, and coffee shops have closed due to COVID-19, but some are offering take-out or delivery. That said, we all have a go-to spot to grab some good grub, unwind, and have good conversation and it would be a shame for it to close. Together as a network, we can help support these restaurants while enjoying a nice treat during quarantine.

The MAC team has provided a few of their favorites below. We have also linked to a Westword article that shares what restaurants are offering take-out and delivery services.

Favorite Books Roundup

Thank you to everyone who shared your book recommendations earlier this year! We're feeling especially grateful to have them all here, as COVID-19 has given us the opportunity to catch up with all of the reading we may have missed.

We've already linked to their dedicated page on the Denver Public Library catalog so you can learn more and place an easy (and free!) hold on these favorite titles. While the library is closed, the Libby app is open! Using your library card, you can seamlessly access tons of books, including audiobooks, through this app. Check it out today!
