Open Enrollment
✅ 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.
