Open Enrollment for 2022 employee benefits will run from Monday, November 8, 2021 through Monday, December 13, 2021. Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your current benefit elections and make any necessary changes. If you are satisfied with your current benefits and have no new dependents to add, then you do not have to take any action this year. Your elections will carry over to the 2022 plan year; however, the costs will reflect the 2022 contribution amounts.
Please Note: If you have a Flexible Spending Account, you must re-enroll as these elections do not roll over. When you make your elections online, you will see your 2022 per-pay-period costs and can plan accordingly.
Coverage Effective Dates
- For employees who are paid biweekly, changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective January 2, 2022.
- For employees who are paid semi-monthly (some DCPS and UDC), changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective January 1, 2022.
