Dear Benefit-Eligible Faculty & Staff,
The 2025 Benefits Open Enrollment period begins Monday, October 14, and ends on Friday, November 1, at 5:00 p.m. PST.
We highly encourage everyone to log in and review their benefits. If you do not make any changes, your current benefit elections will remain the same.
A giveaway prize will be awarded to all who submit their open enrollment in Workday on the first day, Monday, October 14!
Participants in the Flexible Spending Account (FSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA) must re-enroll during open enrollment, as current year elections will NOT carry over.
All benefit elections are effective January 1, 2025, and will remain in effect through December 31, 2025, unless you experience a qualifying life event that would allow you to make a mid-year change.
Please review the 2025 Benefits Guide carefully, as it contains detailed information about the 2025 benefits. Open enrollment is the time to make changes and review your benefits, including Health Care – Medical, Dental, and Vision; Savings Accounts – Flexible Spending or Health Savings Accounts; and Financial Protection – AD&D and Life Insurance.
Below are a few key details about this year’s Open Enrollment:
