Annual open enrollment process for benefit options now available

The annual open enrollment process for all benefit options is open through Thursday, June 8. Please review the Benefit Guide emailed by HR yesterday, May 1, that provides an overview of provided benefits, including premium information, for the plan year beginning July 1, 2023.

Open enrollment offers the opportunity to add, drop or change your benefits and/or dependent coverage. It is important that all benefit-eligible employees complete the open enrollment process to ensure that you have the coverage you need for FY2024. If you decline health insurance or wish to contribute to a flexible spending account, it is required that you complete the open enrollment process. Flexible spending enrollments will not rollover into the new plan year.
