✅ 2026 Open Enrollment – Retiree Checklist

Please review the checklist below to ensure you're prepared for Open Enrollment:


Things to Know

  • Medicare-Eligible?
    If you and/or your covered spouse are Medicare eligible, we encourage you to review our Medicare Advantage Prescription Drug (MAPD) plan. It may offer significant value and enhanced coverage.
  • No Changes? No Action Needed.
    If you're not making any changes to your current benefit elections, no action is required. Your current elections will automatically carry over into 2026.
  • Beneficiary Updates Recommended
    It's important to keep your Retiree Group Life Insurance beneficiary information up to date.
    Employee Benefits recommends submitting a new beneficiary form every 5 years to ensure your records are current.

Forms are available in the right-hand column of the main Open Enrollment page.
