Open Enrollment for the State Employee and Retiree Health Benefits will take place from October 15 through November 28, 2018, for the new plan year that begins on January 1, 2019. Please note, once the open enrollment period closes, you will not be able to make any changes to your benefits until the next open enrollment period unless there is a qualifying event such as marriage, the birth of a child etc.
Regular Status Employees:
If you are not making any changes to your current benefits, you do not have to do anything. The only exception to this rule is that if you currently have Flexible Spending Account (FSA) coverage, you must re-enroll in it to keep it active for 2019. Contact 410-669-3893 to make changes to your current plan and to re-enroll in FSA. Review the IVR instructions carefully. Your ID is your Social Security Number. For your 4 digit pin, you will enter the day and month you were born (mm/dd). To review the changes you made, you must call the above-noted number after 24 hours.
