Open benefits enrollment for 2025: Nov. 4-15

A few important details before you sign up
The two benefit enrollment systems will be activated on Monday, Nov. 4. They will close at midnight on Friday, Nov. 15. You will need to sign up for all your 2025 benefits during this 11-day period.
The entire process of enrolling should take just a few minutes if you are not making changes. However, we strongly recommend that you begin the process of signing up for benefits BEFORE the final day of benefits sign-up. This will allow you to request and receive help if you need it, before the deadline.
You will need to enroll in BOTH medical and non-medical benefits. Each has a separate sign-up process; please see below.
How to sign up for MEDICAL benefits
You will use PlanSource to sign up for your medical benefits.
