Coming soon: Opportunity to change some of your benefits

In response to how the COVID-19 pandemic may have changed some of your health care needs, the Health Care Authority (HCA) and Public Employees Benefits Board (PEBB) are holding a limited open enrollment period during the month of July. During this period you can:

  • Enroll in medical insurance if you are currently in a waived medical status
  • Add eligible dependents to your medical coverage
  • Increase or decrease Medical FSA or DCAP annual elections
  • Enroll in a Medical FSA or DCAP for the rest of the 2020 calendar year (if eligible for these benefits)

Forms will be available beginning July 1, and must be submitted by July 31. Changes will be effective August 1, 2020. If you do not wish to make any of the allowed changes at this time, no action is needed on your part.

Additional information, forms as they become available, and where and how to submit forms is available on the Human Resource Services Limited Open Enrollment website.

Questions may be directed to HRS Benefit Services at (509) 335-4521 or hrs.benefits@wsu.edu.
