The annual distribution of new SEHP benefit cards will be mailed on August 1, 2011 to enrollee homes. All enrollees and dependents will receive their own card.
The new expiration date will be August 31, 2012.
The mail files were pulled from NYBEAS on July 20, 2011. Anyone added to NYBEAS after that date will receive a card in our normal weekly rolling card mailing for new SEHP enrollees.
