Open Enrollment: One week left to enroll for 2021 benefits
The Open Enrollment (OE) period closes at 5:00 p.m. on November 13, and no changes or corrections can be made after that time. If you are adding a new dependent (never had coverage before) or re-enrolling a dependent (did not have coverage in 2020), please go to New Dependent Required Supporting Documentation Quick Reference Guide before you begin your OE event through Workday. You must upload the required documentation as an attachment in Workday with your online enrollment event to ensure coverage for 2021.
No action is required if you are not making any changes to your coverage with the exception of flexible spending accounts (FSA) which do not rollover. For those electing a FSA for 2021, contributed funds not used in the Plan Year will be forfeited so it is important that you carefully determine the proper amount to allocate to your account(s). The IRS authorized a one-time exception for Plan Year 2020 and allowed mid-year election changes due to the COVID-19 pandemic, there is no plan or expectation that this will be allowed again.
