Reminder: 2019 Open enrollment begins tomorrow

The Open Enrollment period for 2019 begins Nov. 1 and will run through Nov. 30. This is the one time each year when you can elect to:

  • Change your medical and/or dental plans
  • Add eligible dependents to your coverage
  • Waive dependents from your coverage
  • Enroll/re-enroll in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and/or Dependent Care Assistance Program (DCAP)
  • Attest/re-attest to the spousal surcharge questions

Changes will become effective Jan. 1, 2019. If you do not wish to make changes to your coverage, do not plan to use FSA/DCAP in 2019, and are not subject to the spousal surcharge attestation, no action is needed on your part.
