Benefitplace will simplify and optimize your employee benefits enrollment and maintenance experience by providing mobile-friendly online access to enroll or make changes.
Open Enrollment is the one time of the year for you to review your current benefit elections and to make changes, if desired.
2023 Open Enrollment is from February 27 – March 27, 2023
What Retirees need to know about the 2023 Open Enrollment
All changes will become effective the beginning of the new plan year, May 1, 2023. Should you experience a qualifying event during the plan year, and would like to modify coverage, you must initiate changes within 30 days of the qualifying event.
There are no plan or rate changes
That’s right - there are no plan or rate changes for the 2023/2024 benefits plan year. All benefit plan designs will also remain the same.
For you this means there will be no change to the current share of cost for pharmacy and medical copayments, co-insurances, annual deductible and out of pocket maximums amounts.
