ENDS: Sunday, May 31, 2026.

During open enrollment, you are able to shop and select your benefits coverage.聽 Keep in mind 鈥� your current elections will carry over if you do not make a change. The only exception is participating in the Limited Purpose FSA and Dependent Care FSA, which do require an active election to continue beyond the current benefit plan year.

As in past years, this is a passive enrollment, meaning that unless you want to make benefit changes, you do not need to do anything 鈥� your current elections will carry over to the next plan year unless you want the Flexible Spending Plan (FSA). Elections made during the open enrollment period will go into effect on July 1, 2026.
