The annual open enrollment season for benefits begins Monday, November 1, 2021 and will continue through Monday, November 15, 2021. Elections and changes made to benefits during open enrollment are effective on January 1, 2022. Open enrollment is the annual time of the year for employees to review their health benefits, including adding or dropping eligible dependents from coverage.
If employees choose not to act during open enrollment, their medical, dental and vision coverage will “roll over” as long as they remain eligible for the plan. Current enrollees in the firm's 80/70/60 Premium PPO Plan will be moved to the High Deductible Plan (HDHP) with Health Savings Account (HSA).
Each year, employees must re-enroll in the following plans: HSA; Health Care and Limited Health Care Flexible Spending Account (MFSA); and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA).*
All enrollment elections are due by November 15, 2021. After November 15, the next opportunity to make changes to benefit elections will be during the next annual open enrollment period, unless a qualifying life event is experienced such as: marriage, adding a dependent or a change in job status.
* Partners are not eligible for pre-tax benefit plans
