2026 Benefits
Open Enrollment: November 3 – November 16
Open Enrollment is passive this year – if you do not submit updated information, change, or waive your coverage, you will have the same coverage as 2025. However, if there are no elections to your Flexible Spending Accounts (healthcare, limited purpose, or dependent care) or Health Savings Account, your elections will be zero for the 2026 benefit year.
- No Action:
-
-
- Benefits plans stay the same
- FSA & Dependent Care deductions: $0 (locked in for 2026)
- HSA deductions: $0 (can change at any time)
