Open Enrollment: October 28 – November 17

Open Enrollment is one of the only times during the year you can make changes to your employee benefits without a qualifying life event. Take time to review them so you can make the best decision for you and your family. Open Enrollment this year is October 28 – November 17, 2021. Any changes or updates you make during this time will become effective on January 1, 2022. You will be able to make changes and updates to your benefits in Employee Self-Service during the dates of Open Enrollment only.

Do you have to do anything during Open Enrollment if you want to keep all your benefits the same in 2022?

  • With the exception of pre-tax flexible spending accounts, all of your current employee benefits will continue in 2022. You must make a new election for flexible spending accounts if you wish to continue in 2022.
  • Employees should review their medical Primary Care Clinic (PCC), as this impacts your out of pocket costs such as annual deductibles, office visit copays, coinsurance, etc.
    • Tip: During Open Enrollment you can’t change your primary clinic in Employee Self-Service unless you also change your health plan carrier. To only change your primary care clinic, contact your carrier directly.
  • For those who waive medical insurance benefits—please review the waiving medical insurance page to determine if action is required of you.

For a successful enrollment, we encourage you to review the Open Enrollment Guide which contains step-by-step instructions for you. Additional resources are also available on the SEGIP website: https://mn.gov/mmb/segip/open-enrollment/.
