What is Open Enrollment?

Open Enrollment is the time each year when partners can sign up for or make changes to their benefits, like medical, dental, vision, and life insurance. Usually, this is the only time you can make changes unless you have a major life event, like getting married or having a baby.

What Happens if my Spouses OE is at a Different Time?

To make changes based on your spouse’s Open Enrollment (OE), you must provide documentation confirming that their OE period is currently active. Acceptable documentation includes an OE newsletter, a notification from their employer, or similar official materials.

 

Important: Changes can only be made while your spouse’s Open Enrollment is open. If their OE period has already closed, the opportunity to make changes will no longer be available.

How do I Enroll?

When Open Enrollment starts, you will get a notification in your Workday inbox. You can complete the Open Enrollment process on your computer or through the Workday App.

Can I Change my Open Enrollment Elections?

Yes, you can change your choices as many times as you want during the Open Enrollment period. The last submitted elections as of Open Enrollment closing will be your benefits that will take effect on January 1st of the following year.

Note: If you add a new dependent to your coverage, you must provide verification by the required deadline for them to be eligible for coverage in the new year.

My Child is Turning 26 Next Year, Do I Need to do Something Different When Completing Open Enrollment?

If your child is turning 26 next year, you do not need to take any action during Open Enrollment to remove them from your benefits. Coverage will automatically end at the end of the month in which your child turns 26.
