Open Enrollment 2025 is Approaching
Open Enrollment for the 2025 benefits year will run from Monday, October 21, through 5 p.m. on Friday, November 1. This annual event is your chance to review and adjust your health, dental, vision, and legal services plans. Benefits changes, along with new rates, will take effect on January 1, 2025. Note that if you wish to keep your current benefits, no action is required, except for Flexible Spending Accounts, which require annual re-enrollment.
Increase Your Life Insurance Coverage
A key option during Open Enrollment is the opportunity to increase your optional life insurance coverage up to one times your salary. If you choose to change your coverage, the new level will become effective on January 1, 2025. You can enroll in optional life coverage ranging from $10,000 up to $1.7 million, based on your salary.
For specific coverage options, the monthly cost examples, and access to a cost calculator, please visit the Optional Life Insurance Plan web page.
