The Open Enrollment period for 2021 begins Nov. 1 and will run through Nov. 30. Changes will become effective Jan. 1, 2021. 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) for the coming year
- Attest/re-attest to the spousal surcharge questionnaire (if required)
If you do not wish to make changes to your coverage, do not plan to use FSA/DCAP in 2021, and are not subject to the spousal surcharge attestation, no action is needed on your part.
