Ooooops!

gannett benefits

As a retiree from a Gannett newspaper (The Indianapolis Star), I get a life insurance benefit from the company.

Today’s mail brought a form in which I am asked to provide the most recent information about my designated beneficiary. They thoughtfully provided a pre-addressed envelope in which to return the form.

When I sat down to complete the form just now, I noticed there is nothing there to link it to me. My name is not printed on the form, nor is there a space for me to add my name. I examined the back of the form which says, “GANNETT [Back of Designated Beneficiary Form] Please tear off this bottom portion, and send back to Gannett in the enclosed return envelope by April 15, 2012.”

So the geniuses at the Gannett Benefits Center will receive a slew of disassociated beneficiary forms and no way to connect them with the insured retirees.

But they make sure you use black ink and print clearly.

Before you settle on one insurance company make sure you know you’re getting the best policy for you and your family. IntelliQuote can offer you free quotes from many different providers to compare. If you have any questions you can call and talk to a person without feeling pressured to pick right away. It’s a big decision. Feel confident and informed. http://bit.ly/HmM06m

Thanks for the spam, jackass. Your message is completely irrelevant to my situation.
