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 2026.
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.
