Employees should contact their agency's personnel department or visit the Office of Labor Relations at 40 Rector St. in Manhattan in order to complete a health benefits application.

For retirees, the change will go into effect on Jan. 1.

To select a new plan, retirees should go to the Office of Labor Relations at 40 Rector St. in Manhattan or download an application from the city's website:
