The Harvard Benefits Office will be closing for the University Winter Recess at 5 PM on December 18, 2020. The office will re-open on Monday, January 4th.

During the recess our medical, dental, vision, and prescription drug vendors, Benefit Strategies, and the Harvard University Retirement Center will be open, some with reduced business hours.

As always, coverage is subject to plan provisions.
