Active Employees – Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment runs from May 1 through May 30, 2025
The elections you make during Open Enrollment will be effective July 1, 2025 – June 30, 2026

What You Need to Know
Open Enrollment is the time to decide if your (and your dependents’) current health coverage will meet your needs for 2025-2026. During the Open Enrollment election period (May 1-30, 2025), you can:

  • Add, change, or drop a health plan
  • Add or remove one or more dependents
  • Change coverage tiers (e.g., move from Self to Family or Family to Two-Party coverage)
What’s New for 2025-2026
Effective July 1, 2025, dependent children ages 19-25 will be eligible to enroll in EUTF dental and vision coverage through age 25, regardless of student or marital status, and they do not need to live with the employee. Open Enrollment is your opportunity to enroll or re-enroll your child.
