Presentations to Help You Choose

Benefits Open Enrollment for plan year 2025 occurs Oct. 7-18, 2024. 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 help you prepare for Open Enrollment early. DON’T wait until the short window opens. We have plenty of resources to help you right now. To make the Open Enrollment experience as convenient as possible, the Open Enrollment events will be both in-person and virtual.

The Open Enrollment website is live, and this email gives important dates and information on the Open Enrollment presentations.
