Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment for the 2026 plan year is closed. Open Enrollment for the 2027 plan year will take place in mid/late Fall 2026.
Details about 2026 benefits plans can be found on individual benefits pages, accessible by clicking on the navigation items (medical, dental, vision, prescription, etc.) at the top of this page.Open Enrollment is the designated period during which active employees and benefits-eligible retirees may make changes to their benefits.
Active employees and benefits-eligible retirees should review their personal information, the benefits being offered by HCPSS, and the plans that they are enrolled in to determine if they would like to make any changes.
Please note:
- Employees and retirees may make changes to their benefits at any point during the Open Enrollment period.
- All benefit changes must be completed by the end of the Open Enrollment period.
- Active employees who choose not to make changes to their medical, dental, vision, short-term disability, long-term disability, critical illness, supplemental life, accident and whole life insurance benefits elections will continue their benefits elections for the previous plan year.
- Note: Active employees interested in having a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) must enroll in that benefit each year in order to have it for the upcoming plan year. Health Care FSA amounts and Dependent Care FSA amounts must also be elected each plan year.
- Retirees who choose not to make changes to their benefits elections will have those same benefits elections continue to the next plan year.
- All benefits elections take effect on January 1.
