Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment takes place each fall. The 2024 Open Enrollment period will take place September 16 to October 11, 2024. Changes made during Open Enrollment will take effect January 1, 2025.

Open Enrollment is a set time of the year when eligible state employees can enroll, disenroll or make changes to their health, dental, vision, COBRA, and legal insurance benefit plans. Employees can also add or delete eligible dependents.

For successful delivery of these efforts, the Benefits Division established an Annual Open Enrollment Project, with the goal to provide state departments with necessary benefit programs and plan information to share with their employees.
