2025 Benefits Open Enrollment
October 28 - November 10, 2024
Open Enrollment is the period each year that you may make changes to your medical, dental and vision benefits without a qualified change in your family status (a Section 125 "Life Status Change Event"). Use this annual opportunity to review your health care needs and make any changes necessary! Open Enrollment is an online process through our benefits administrator, Businessolver. We will not accept any paper forms. If you do not have any changes to make to your 2025 medical, dental or vision benefits and you do not want to enroll in a 2025 flexible spending account, no action is required.
All changes take effect January 1, 2025
