There is now a CONTENT FREEZE for Mercury while we switch to a new platform. It began on Friday, March 10 at 6pm and will end on Wednesday, March 15 at noon. No new content can be created during this time, but all material in the system as of the beginning of the freeze will be migrated to the new platform, including users and groups. Functionally the new site is identical to the old one. webteam@gatech.edu

Georgia Tech retirees are invited to attend an informational session conducted by the University System of Georgia about Medicare-eligible retirees and their dependents shifting to a private health exchange in 2016.
Medicare-eligible retirees and their dependents age 65 and over will enroll in the USG healthcare benefit in a new way in 2016. Supplemental coverage will be provided through the Aon Retiree Health Exchange, and the USG will deposit money into a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) for retirees and/or dependents to use towards premiums and other eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses.
The enrollment period is October 1 through December 31, 2015, with a December 31 deadline for January 1, 2016 coverage begin date.
