Open Enrollment is Around the Corner
Open Enrollment will be Tuesday, October 1st through Thursday, October 31st.
In case you missed it, check out the recent General Notice from HR Director, Yvette George!
It’s that time of year when you get to pick and choose your benefits for the next year, and we’ve got some tips to help you get ready:
- Check Out Your Current Benefits: Review what you have now – think about copays, deductibles, and any changes you might need.
- Think About Your Needs: Any big changes coming up? New family members, medical procedures on the horizon?
- Compare Your Options: Look at the different plans available to make sure you’re getting the best deal for you. How much will it cost, who’s covered, and where can you go for care?
- Get Some Help: Do you have questions or need a hand in deciding? Consider attending one of our Open Enrollment Information Sessions. No sign-up is required, and the sessions will be “open house” style. Come by anytime between 12pm and 5pm to ask questions, meet with our vendors, and obtain assistance with making changes.
Did you know our medical plans include the following?

Changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective on January 1, 2025. Outside of Open Enrollment, changes can only be made within 60 days of a qualifying event. If you are currently enrolled and do not want to make any changes, your current elections (apart from FSA) will continue in 2025.
Enrollments and changes to your health, dental, short-term income protection (STIP), and flexible spending accounts (FSA) must be completed online through Employee Direct Access (EDA) by 4:30pm on October 31, 2024. Once you log in to EDA, click on the “My Benefits” icon to participate in Open Enrollment. Be sure to download or print your confirmation page!

Open Enrollment is your chance to set yourself up for a great year ahead. Take your time, weigh your options, and choose what works best for you. As a reminder, if you currently participate in the flexible spending account (FSA) benefit, you must re-enroll in this benefit each year during Open Enrollment.
