Open enrollment and benefit changes

You have the opportunity to change your benefits and add or remove dependents during the Open Enrollment period, which takes place in the fall every year.

At other times of the year, there are some changes you can make if you have a qualifying life event, such as marriage/divorce, birth of a child, or you become eligible for Medicaid/Medicare. You can also enroll in or change your HSA at any time during the year.
