Open Enrollment
A time to make changes.
Open enrollment will begin on October 1, 2020 and run through October 31, 2020. During this period, employees will have the ability to change or enroll in health, dental and flexible spending (FSA) accounts, add or drop dependents or remain in their current health plans.
This year, NJ State is going virtual with their benefit presentations and enrollment. They will no longer accept paper forms. Spend some time reviewing the following information and remember to make any changes before October 31, 2020.
