CHANGES COMING TO BENEFITS ADMINISTRATION FROM DTE ENERGY
You should have received a mailer recently from DTE Energy announcing changes to the administrator for our health & welfare and pension benefits. YBR, administered through Alight Solutions, will be replaced by myDTEBenefitsCenter for health & welfare which includes information related to your health insurance (if you are eligible to get it through the company) and/or information about your life insurance plan. In addition, myDTEPensionCenter will provide information for all things related to your pension, including your ability to change your tax deductions.
