The Annual Open Enrollment period for 2016 will run from November 1 – 30. This is the one time each year when you are able to change your medical and/or dental plans, add eligible dependents to your coverage, or waive dependents from your coverage. This is also the time to enroll/re-enroll in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and/or Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP) if you wish to have this coverage in 2016. Enrollment changes become effective January 1, 2016.
If you do not want to make a change in Medical/Dental plans, you do not need to complete any forms and your current plan will continue. However, if you plan to continue your FSA or DCAP in 2016, you will need to re-enroll.
If you carry a spouse or registered domestic partner on your plan, you may need to attest/re-attest to the spousal surcharge questions to determine if the surcharge will be applicable to you in 2016. If you do not attest during Open Enrollment, you will see the spousal surcharges on your paycheck starting in January.
