2024 Open Enrollment: Presentations and Workshops to Help You Choose
Benefits Open Enrollment for plan year 2024 occurs Oct. 2-13. Make sure to review and confirm your benefits early and print out or save as a PDF a confirmation of your benefits when you’re done. It’s not too early to review your benefits now and learn what’s new.
Since the Open Enrollment window is only two weeks, we are providing you with all the information you need to decide prior to Open Enrollment opening so you can carefully consider options, ask questions, and enroll early. DON’T wait until the short window opens to do it all. You have plenty of resources available now. To make the Open Enrollment experience as convenient for you as possible, the Open Enrollment events will have both in-person and virtual offerings.
The Open Enrollment webpages are open, and this story gives important dates and explains how the Open Enrollment presentations will work this year.
