Open Enrollment

FOR 2026-2027 BENEFITS

Benefits Open Enrollment is April 15 — April 29, 2026

What is Open Enrollment?

For eligible employees, Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to review, enroll in, or update your benefits and add/remove eligible dependents. Benefits you elect during the Open Enrollment period will be in effect for the next plan year (July 1, 2026, to June 30, 2027), unless you experience a qualifying life event (i.e., marriage, divorce, birth or adoption of a child, etc.) and process the change in a timely manner.

If you don’t make changes during Open Enrollment, your current benefits will automatically roll over to the next plan year except for Flexible Spending Account elections, which must be enrolled in each year. However, we recommend logging in to review your benefits and ensure everything, including your beneficiary designation(s), is up to date.

Plan Year 2026-2027

We are committed to providing you and your family with a comprehensive, affordable benefits program. Your commitment to good health is paying off, and there are limited changes for the upcoming plan year.

  • Carrier partners across all benefits plan offerings
  • Benefits plan design across Medical, Dental, and Vision

  • Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA) annual election amount increases
