Health Insurance Open Enrollment

The 2026 Health Insurance Open Enrollment period for most state employees will be held from May 1, 2026 – May 31, 2026.  Any changes made during Open Enrollment will become effective July 1, 2026

During Open Enrollment, you may:

  • change medical and/or dental plans
  • add or drop coverage for your eligible family members
  • enroll if you previously waived coverage
  • enroll in or opt out of the Health Enhancement Program (HEP)

No action is required if you aren’t making changes; your existing coverage will automatically continue.
