Explore your benefits at an in-person or virtual benefits fair

This year, open enrollment runs from October 26 through November 23. The School Employees Benefits Board (SEBB) Program has organized in-person and virtual benefits fairs so you can learn about your SEBB health plan options, 2027 premiums, and other benefit options.

In-person benefits fairs

Speak directly with plan representatives and get your questions answered at benefits fairs happening across the state. Check out the Benefits fairs webpage to find locations, schedule updates, and presentation information.

Virtual benefits fair

Skip the traffic and explore your benefits anytime, anywhere with the SEBB virtual benefits fair. Access videos, plan comparisons, and other tools to help you choose the right coverage and learn about any changes to your health plans.
