October 11, 2021 As fall approaches, Human Resources is making plans for annual Open Enrollment which will occur from October 14th through November 3rd. There will be minimal plan design changes and no premium changes in employee benefits for the 2022 plan year. Please review the information below as you prepare for Open Enrollment: Your current elections for medical, dental, vision and voluntary insurance plans will be carried over into next year. Your current tax-favored account amounts will not rollover. Action is required if you want to contribute to a: Healthcare flexible spending account (FSA) Dependent Care flexible spending account (DCFSA – for child care expenses) Health savings account (HSA for those enrolled in the HDHP) for the 2022 plan year. IRS regulations prohibit any coverage changes after open enrollment ends, except for mid-year changes made within 30 days of a qualifying life event. You will receive additional information regarding open enrollment in the coming weeks. Additionally, there will be meetings to assist you in making your benefits elections. We encourage you to review the information you receive and make the necessary changes to your benefits during open enrollment from October 14th to November 3rd. Changes made during this time will be effective January 1, 2022.
