Friendly Reminders!

Open Enrollment will be online only. There will be no paper enrollment during this open enrollment period.

If you do not have Open Enrollment changes, your current elections will rollover to the 2025 plan year, with the exceptions of Flexible Spending and Dependent Care Accounts.

Flexible Spending Health and Dependent Care Accounts You must re-enroll for the Flexible Spending Accounts each year during Open Enrollment; these benefits do not carry over automatically.

The Open Enrollment period is the opportunity to add/delete eligible dependents to your healthcare plans. If you are adding a dependent, you MUST provide proof of dependent eligibility to the Human Resources office within three (3) business days of completing your online enrollment. Proof of dependent eligibility includes birth certificates and/or marriage license. Without proof of dependent eligibility, your dependents will not be enrolled.

Open Enrollment Period ends on November 4th, 2024 at 5pm, after this date you will no longer be allowed to make changes for the 2025 plan year unless you experience a Qualifying Event (i.e., marriage, birth, adoption, loss of previous coverage, etc.).

Should you have a qualifying event, you have thirty-one (31) days to make changes to your benefits. As a reminder:

  • Newborns/Marriage: You must provide a copy of the birth/marriage certificate within thirty-one (31) days of the qualifying event.
  • Divorce: In the event of a divorce, it is your responsibility to notify Human Resources and make the necessary changes to your benefit coverage. Failure to do so may result in medical charges incurred by your former spouse to become your responsibility. Beneficiary designations should also be reviewed and updated if needed.
