Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment for Plan Year 2022:
November 18, 2021 through December 09, 2021

Open Enrollment is your opportunity to review, enroll in or make changes to your medical, dental, and vision benefits, as well as to add or drop coverage for eligible dependents

*Please Note: Elections made for the January 1, 2022 plan year will remain in effect through December 31, 2022.

Before selecting your coverage during this open enrollment, take the time to review your benefits options in the Open Enrollment Guide (below).

Benefit elections and changes cannot be made outside of the open enrollment period, unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), such as a change in marital status, the birth or adoption of a child, a change in your spouse’s work status or coverage, etc.

Open Enrollment Overview

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to make changes to your current benefit election. Please review your current plan to determine if you want to maintain your current coverage, add/remove family members, and/or make additional changes to your plans. Changes requested during open enrollment will take effect January 1. The plan year begins on January 1 and continues through December 31.

Please be aware that decisions made during Open Enrollment are generally binding for the entire plan year. An individual may not make any changes until next year's Open Enrollment period unless that individual has a Qualifying Life Event (e.g., marriage, birth, adoption, etc.) and notifies the Human Resources Office within 30 days from the date of the qualifying event.

Open Enrollment Deadline

All new elections must be received by Human Resources no later than Thursday, December 09, 2021.
