<Tagline>USM MetLife coverages are now evergreen!</Tagline>

<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Good news! Employees no longer need to wait until the annual enrollment period to enroll in or make changes to their <strong>USM MetLife</strong> benefits. (USM = University System of Maryland)<div><br></div>
    <div>Starting Monday, April 1, 2024, if you are a Regular or Contingent II (C2) employee, you can enroll in the USM-sponsored MetLife Term Life insurance &amp; Long-Term Disability benefits, make changes, or cancel your benefits anytime during the year. </div>
    <div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Already enrolled and not interested in making changes? Your current coverage will continue seamlessly; no action is required.</div>
    </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>If you are outside of your initial 60 days of USM employment, you will need to provide <strong>evidence of insurability</strong> (medical underwriting) to be approved for USM MetLife coverages. To complete your application, look for the "Start Your Statement of Health" button during enrollment.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>MetLife will review your application and notify you of their decision and the effective date of your coverage.</div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <strong>Please note:</strong> USM MetLife coverages are <em>not </em>available in the SPS Workday system. Workday is the State's online system that administers State health benefits only. USM MetLife coverages can be found in the USM MetLife portal here: metlife.com/USMD.  </div>
    <div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Enroll or review your USM MetLife benefits today at metlife.com/USMD. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>Attached is a flyer with more information. </div>
    <div><br></div>

<Body>
<![CDATA[
    <div class="html-content">Hello all,<div>I'm just sharing an internship opportunity that was shared with us this week. If you are interested, you can follow up with them directly. We don't have any further information, so proceed with your own research on the matter. :) </div>

    <div>Hello, <div><br></div>
    <div>
    <a href="https://lorishands.org/" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">Lori's Hands</a> is currently offering several <strong>paid internship opportunities</strong> to students in Baltimore. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>The Lori’s Hands Scholars program supports individuals who are BIPOC, Pell Grant recipients, and/or first generation college students in pursuing their academic and professional goals. Through a tailored internship experience, scholars will gain experience in nonprofit operations, program development, and community engagement. Scholars will learn about and contribute to the work of Lori’s Hands by providing in-home support for people living with chronic illness. They will support the growth of the organization through student recruitment, community outreach, and training development and enhancement. </div>
    <div><br></div>
    <div>More information is available on <a href="https://lorishands.org/careers/#LHScholars" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">our website</a> and interested students can apply <a href="https://airtable.com/appKPwSGHfBDfDa9L/shrP95OblvxDPyb3P" rel="nofollow external" class="bo">here</a>. Please let me know if you have any questions about this opportunity and feel free to share this information with your students and with other colleagues within your network. </div>
