Reminders:

If you would like to remain enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account, you must re-enroll every year during open enrollment.
If you are an employee or retiree covering your grandchild as a dependent, you should recertify your dependent by submitting new documentation to HRConnect Legacy. Accepted grandchild documentation is a copy of the portion of your most recent income tax return that states you are claiming your grandchild as a dependent. You may redact (cross out) any financial information.
It is important to name a beneficiary for life insurance, and the fastest way for your beneficiary to obtain your benefit in the event it is needed. Open Enrollment is a good time to check your beneficiaries and ensure they are up to date.

Review the System Benefits Administration website to prepare for Open Enrollment. View premiums, plan description booklets, and more. Check your current benefit elections by clicking on the Benefits Worklet from your Workday home page.

New for 2024

There will be no grace period to enroll or make changes after Open Enrollment closes July 31
No corrections can be made in the month of August before the effective date of September 1
Changes cannot be made after the first payroll deduction of the fiscal year as happened in previous years
Mailed documents must be postmarked by July 31st (online enrollment preferred)
Newly benefits-eligible employees will have 31 days from date of hire/initial eligibility to enroll in benefits.
Enrollment for benefits after a qualified life event must take place within 31 days from the date of event.
Effective September 1, if you become eligible for the 65 Plus Plan and opt-out of this coverage because you have medical coverage through another source other than Medicare, or for most other reasons, you will no longer be able to remain in the A&M Care Plan. Opting out of 65 Plus Plan coverage will mean that you are opting out of any medical coverage through the Texas A&M University System.
