2026 Open Enrollment now open

Open Enrollment 2026 is now open! This is the one time each year when you can elect to change your medical, dental, or vision plans, add or waive eligible dependents from your coverage, enroll/re-enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Limited FSA, and/or Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) for 2026, and re-attest to the spousal surcharge questionnaire if required.

This year, participants in the UMP Plus plan must choose a new plan, as UMP Plus will no longer be offered starting in 2026.

All changes are made through Workday between Oct. 27 and Nov. 24. The changes are effective Jan. 1, 2026.

The Open Enrollment web page provides information on benefit and premium changes, changes to the UMP Plus plan, the Benefit Fairs schedule, and other important information you need to know.

Please review the sources provided above before reaching out with questions. Contact HRS Benefits at 509-335-4589 or hrs.benefits@wsu.edu for assistance.
