Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your plan elections and make changes to your medical, dental, flexible spending accounts and voluntary benefits. Choosing benefits is a significant investment in your physical and financial well-being and should be treated like any major purchase. This year, open enrollment for 2025 benefits will start on October 14, 2024 and end on November 1, 2024. Elections made during open enrollment will become effective January 1, 2025.
What’s New for 2025?!?!
· The HDHP with HSA medical plan option coinsurance percentage is changing from 20% to 10% effective January 1, 2025.
If you do not make an active election during Open Enrollment, your current benefits will rollover to 2025. However, if you have a HSA or FSA, you must re-enroll each year. We strongly encourage you to review your benefits to make sure your current coverage still meets your needs and the needs of your family.
