Benefits Administration Services  Currently County of Will utilizes Aon’s Total Benefit Solution (TBS) benefit administration platform. This platform has been in use by the County since 10/2013. The current contract ends 12/31/2016.  Aon made the business decision to retire the TBS platform as clients have requested additional services/capabilities that do not exist on the current TBS platform. Clients are being moved to the more robust Aon Hewitt Core Benefits Administration (CBA) platform as their agreements renew.  The CBA Benefits Administration agreement is a 3 year contract ending 12/31/2019 with the ability to terminate early. Fees would be locked in at $6.25 PEPM for the entire term of the contract, estimate annual cost is $157,950.  The proposed transition to the CBA platform is planned for July, 2016 resulting in the new platform being available for the 2017 Open Enrollment scheduled for October, 2016.  The new CBA platform provides additional critical functionality and services including: – U.S. based call center with ability to respond to benefit related questions, assist with enrollment issues over the phone, respond to technical questions/issues; administer the County’s retiree benefits program – New calculators to estimate medical expenses, FSA, and Life insurance – Additional reporting capabilities necessary for use by the HR team
