Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is November 1 - 15, 2024 for 2025 benefits.

About Open Enrollment

Make Sure You’re Covered in 2025.  Enroll by November 15! 

(Note: this open enrollment period does not apply to CDS employees. You will enroll in benefits through the New Hire enrollment process in December. You will receive a New Hire Benefits task in your Workday inbox to complete and submit your elections at that time).

You must make elections to continue most benefits for 2025 even if no changes are needed, or your coverage will end after December 31, 2024. We ask every full-time employee to complete the open enrollment process to elect or waive each benefit during this Open Enrollment period, even if you wish to decline all benefits, to confirm you are enrolled or waived in each benefit plan as intended.

Open Enrollment is the one time each year when you can change your benefit elections without a qualifying life event and make sure they continue to fit the needs of you and your family. Please review your options carefully and choose to enroll, re-enroll or decline coverage in any of our plans; drop or add dependents; or change plan options or coverage tiers.  

This is your chance to consider your elections for the following plans:

  • Medical

  • Dental

  • Vision

  • Health Savings Account (HSA)

  • Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA)

  • Supplemental Life and/or Accidental Death (AD&D) for you, a spouse, or dependent children

  • Other Voluntary Benefits such as Legal Assistance Plan, Identity Theft Protection, Hospital Indemnity Insurance, Critical Illness, or Accident
