2026 Open Enrollment

December 2 through December 12

Annual Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to make changes to your benefits. This is a great time to refresh yourself on everything you have access to so you're ready to enroll starting December 2. The decisions you make during Open Enrollment will be effective January 1 through December 31, 2026. Review this page to learn more about changes, resources, and more.

Things You Can Do

  • Change plan elections including Medical, Dental, Vision, Accident, and Critical Illness
  • Switch between pre- and post-tax options for Short-Term Disability and Long-Term Disability
  • Request additional Life and AD&D Insurance (Evidence of Insurability may be required)
  • Add or remove dependents
  • Enroll or re-enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

Things You Should Review

  • Each year, you should confirm that your and your dependents' information is correct
  • Open Enrollment is a great time to review your beneficiaries and ensure that they still match your wishes

What Happens if You Don't Enroll?

If you don't make changes during Open Enrollment, you current benefits will roll over to 2026 with the exception of Flexible Spending Accounts which require you to actively enroll each year. You will not have another opportunity to enroll or make changes until the next annual Open Enrollment (unless you experience a qualifying life event).

What's New?

Each year, we review your benefits program and introduce changes to ensure you have coverage options that emphasize choice and flexibility. Here's a summary of what's changing in 2026.

Life, Disability, Accident, and Critical Illness Carrier Change

Starting in 2026, our life, disability, Accident and Critical Illness carrier will be changing from the Standard to Prudential. If you have an active claim, or incur a claim prior to 1/1/2026, your claim will still be processed and managed by The Standard. Any claim processed after 1/1/2026 will be managed by Prudential. Prudential offers top of the line service in the industry and will be a great fit for our benefits package moving forward.
