Welcome to Plan Year 2025 Option Period! Here are a few things to keep in mind:
OPTION PERIOD
Coverage is effective Jan. 1, 2025.
This is the annual period when eligible employees can:
- Enroll in coverage.
- Change plans or drop coverage.
- Decrease or apply to increase life coverage.
- Add or drop eligible dependents from coverage.
- Enroll in health, dental, life and/or vision coverage for yourself and your dependents as long as you have not dropped that coverage within the past 12 months.
-
If you have dropped coverage within the past 12 months without a midyear qualifying event, you cannot reinstate that coverage for at least 12 months. You must enroll, make changes and submit the required documentation before the end of Option Period. Contact your benefits partner for more information.
REMINDERS
- Option Period begins on Oct. 1 and runs through Oct. 31.
- P&A Group is the provider of your flexible spending account (FSA) benefits.
- FSA (health and dependent care) and HSA contributions must be enrolled in every year.
- When enrolling in the FSA (HCA or DCA), please make sure to select the correct plan.
- If opting out, employees must renew their opt-out each year—complete the Opt Out Acceptance form and upload required documentation (proof of other group coverage). Opt-outs will not roll over from year to year.
