Get Ready for Open Enrollment May 1-15

It’s almost time for the annual Open Enrollment period May 1 – 15 to make your health plan and/or flexible spending account (FSA) elections, to change your health plan, add or remove family members or waive state health coverage.

Elections made during this period, changes to your premiums, health benefits and FSAs will take effect July 1, 2024. Be sure to read the newly designed Spotlight publication, which was mailed to your home address of record or visit the DHRM’s Open Enrollment page for the enrollment form, summary of benefits coverage, and much more information.

Make your elections beginning May 1 using Cardinal HCM. Do you need additional information on completing Open Enrollment online? Please refer to Cardinal’s Open Enrollment page or print, sign and submit a completed enrollment form to your agency’s HR Benefits Administrator by the close of business on Wednesday, May 15.

Remember, no election is required if you have no health plan coverage changes, are not participating in Premium Rewards, and are not enrolling in an FSA. Premium Reward incentive requirements completed during Open Enrollment will be effective July 1 (see Premium Rewards Requirements for additional details).

Enroll or make changes on time! The deadline is Wednesday, May 15, 2024.
