Open Enrollment
The Saint Mary’s Human Resources Department would like to remind staff and faculty that the open enrollment period for benefits is currently open and will remain open through Friday, Nov. 18. Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to add, change, or remove benefit enrollment elections for the next plan year. Elections made during open enrollment are effective on Jan. 1, 2023. Outside the annual open enrollment period, you may only make changes to your benefits elections within 30 days of a qualifying status change event, such as marriage, birth/adoption of a child, dependent eligibility changes, divorce, death, loss of other coverage, retirement, or other. All elections made during this period take effect on Jan. 1, 2023. No enrollment action is required if you want to continue with the same benefits in 2023 with the exception of flexible spending accounts. Flexible spending enrollment is required annually. All other benefits will continue automatically for 2023.
A virtual open enrollment presentation is available on the Human Resources Department webpage. A 2023 benefit guide is also available.
If you have more questions after viewing the presentation, feel free to contact human resource staff at hr@smumn.edu or by phone at ext. 1508.
