Open Enrollment, your once-a-year opportunity to review and select benefit offerings at UC San Diego, begins today, October 26 at 8 a.m. PDT, and ends on Friday, November 17 at 5 p.m. PST.
As we mentioned last week, do not wait until the last minute - allow yourself enough time to ask questions and receive the answers you need to make the best choices for you and your family. You can enroll for benefits through the UCPath portal here.
As you may have seen in last week’s campus notice, there will be an increase to employee medical plan costs in 2024. The premiums can be viewed on UCnet here.
The following resources will be available to help you make informed decisions:
- Vendor partner presentations: Representatives will be available to answer questions after each vendor partner presentation on Wednesday, November 1, and Thursday, November 9. The presentation schedule is available on Blink.
- HHR on-site visits: The Health HR Benefit Services team will visit multiple locations in the system during Open Enrollment to answer questions in person. More information is available on Pulse.
- Open Enrollment office hours: You can attend a virtual office hours session to learn more and have your questions answered. The office hours schedule is available on Blink.
Open Enrollment is also the time for you to enroll or re-enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) if you want to continue your Health FSA for healthcare expenses for you and your family members, or Dependent Care FSA for childcare or eldercare expenses in 2024. Re-enrollment is not automatic for these plans. If you would like to enroll for one of these plans, you will need to make your new annual election during Open Enrollment.
