Open Enrollment FY25 news will be posted in June 2024
Open Enrollment is the time for employees and retirees to review their benefits and consider any changes to make for the next plan year, effective September 1 each year.
Past Open Enrollment FY24 News
Open Enrollment opens July 10 and closes July 31
This three-week window is the ONLY time individuals can make changes to their coverage, enroll in new benefit options, or renew their flexible spending accounts without having to demonstrate a qualifying life event. Because the July 31 deadline cannot be extended, be sure to log into Workday during this period to review your benefits and make any changes. Contact us at benefits@tamu.edu for assistance.
