Review Your Benefits<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Don’t miss this opportunity to review your benefits in Workday. This is the only time employees and retirees can change coverage, enroll in new benefit options, or renew flexible spending accounts without a qualifying life event. The July 31 deadline cannot be extended.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Outside the July 10-31 Open Enrollment period, changes to health, dental, vision, and flexible spending account coverage may only be made within 30 days of a Qualifying Life Event<\/strong>, such as marriage, birth, or adoption. If changes are not submitted within 30 days of the event, coverage cannot be modified until the next Open Enrollment period. Any changes made during Open Enrollment will take effect on September 1.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
