If you have established an Illinois Public ID to access your CMS Employee Benefit Statement, you may receive an email notification from il.ex.password@illinois.gov that your password is about to expire. Your password is required to be changed periodically. You will receive an email notifying you to take this action before it expires and it contains a link to an Illinois.gov web page where this can be done. Below is an example of the email and of the Illinois.gov web page.
