This is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefits unless you have an eligible change in status throughout the year. Qualifying events must be reported within 60 days of the event in order to make changes and will be effective the 1st of the month following receipt of completed paperwork.
There are no changes to our plans this year.
