About this file

This is a Marketing and Communications Plan appendix prepared by MetLife for the State of Tennessee's Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability Insurance procurement (RFP #31786-00186). The plan outlines a comprehensive schedule of member communications and educational initiatives to be delivered across multiple channels including email, direct mail, microsites, and in-person benefit fairs. Key deliverables include a wellness article (first draft due April 25, 2025), member handbook and plan summary documents (first draft due July 11, 2025), two awareness campaigns promoting disability insurance enrollment (first drafts due July 11, 2025 with posted dates of October 1 and October 7, 2025), microsite content optimization (due September 1, 2025), and train-the-trainer ABC training road shows. Additional components include benefit fair counselor availability and a recorded STD/LTD benefits overview presentation for the State's benefits website. All communication materials follow a standardized review process including State edits, legal review, and state filing review prior to posting or distribution.

The communications plan establishes clear timelines for content development and approval across all materials, with legal review periods typically ranging from 10-14 days and state filing reviews conducted as needed. Specific delivery dates are set for major initiatives, with awareness campaigns and member handbook materials scheduled for late summer 2025 delivery to support the January 1, 2027 implementation date. The plan includes flexibility for certain activities such as benefit fair training road shows and benefits overview presentations, with dates to be determined based on State scheduling. This communications strategy is designed to support member education and enrollment efforts during the open enrollment period and throughout the plan year for approximately 10,000+ eligible employees across central state government and state higher education agencies.
