Thank you to everyone who attended the Open Enrollment Health Fair last week. Drawing winners will be contacted later today to claim their prizes. We also would like to thank the sponsors for their participation.
If you were unable to attend the in-person fair, there is still an opportunity to attend the virtual benefits fair tomorrow, September 30th hosted by the Chancellor's Office. During the fair you will be able to speak with benefit providers as well as staff from our office. The booths will be open from 11 am - 2 pm. Registration is required to attend.
As a reminder, Open Enrollment is going on now through October 10th. If you would like to make changes to your benefits such as adding/deleting dependents or changing plans, please complete the Benefit Enrollment/Change Worksheet by Friday, October 10th. Changes will take effect January 1, 2026.
If you are not making any changes to your current health, dental, vision or voluntary plans, no action is required. Your current coverage will automatically continue into the next plan year, with the exception of HCRA/DCRA accounts which require re-enrollment each year.
Please also note that all employees are subject to updated health premium rates, even if no changes are made to coverage. Please refer to the 2026 Health Care and Insurance Monthly Premium Rate Chart to confirm your new monthly premium which will go into effect with the December 2025 pay warrant.
