Employee Benefits
- Open Enrollment Dates: Monday, October 26th, 2026- Monday, November 9, 2026
- Actions to take:
- 2027 Open Enrollment is a hybrid enrollment- both passive and active. That means if you're happy with your current benefits and don’t want to make any changes, they’ll automatically roll over into 2027. HOWEVER:
- Important: FSA and HSA elections do NOT roll over- you’ll need to actively update those for 2027.
- Our voluntary coverages will now be provided by United Healthcare. If you currently hold any voluntary policies with The Hartford (Accident, Critical Illness, Hospital Indemnity and Voluntary Life Insurance) you will need to go in and acknowledge this change by selecting to keep the benefit. Certain rates have changed which will be shown to you when you log in to make the change.
- Special One-Time Open Enrollment for Voluntary Life – Effective Jan. 1, 2027
- If you are eligible or currently enrolled in Voluntary Life insurance, you will be able to enroll and/or increase your benefit amount in increments of $10,000, up to the Guarantee Issue (GI) amount of $150,000, without providing any medical history/EOI. Any amount elected above the GI will require EOI.
- Our Short Term Disability coverage will now be provided by United Healthcare. For 2027 only, all employees that enroll in Short Term Disability effective January 1, will be guarantee issue.
- 2027 Open Enrollment is a hybrid enrollment- both passive and active. That means if you're happy with your current benefits and don’t want to make any changes, they’ll automatically roll over into 2027. HOWEVER:
