OPEN ENROLLMENT PERIOD IS SEPT. 14 THROUGH OCT. 9, 2026

September 8, 2026

The health and well-being of our employees is important, and we encourage you take this time to ensure
your benefits are aligned with your individual and family’s health needs.


Open Enrollment is your opportunity each year to review your current benefit plan selections to ensure they
continue to meet your personal and family needs. The effective date for selections made during the Open Enrollment period will be January 1, 2027.


During this time, you can:
• Enroll in a plan
• Change or add to your benefit plans
• Add or remove eligible family members
• Elect to decline or cancel coverage
• Enroll/Re-enroll in annual Health Care or Dependent Care reimbursement (HCRA/DCRA) accounts
• Update or enroll in voluntary benefit plans
• Update your beneficiaries and ensure your personal information is up to date


If you have no changes to your current health, dental, vision or voluntary plans, you don’t need to do
anything during Open Enrollment. Your plans will automatically continue for the upcoming plan year. Visit
the Open Enrollment website for updated resources, such as benefit plans, rates, forms and benefit provider
information. Full details on health plans are available on the CalPERS website, and CalPERS Heath Plan
Statements are available through your personalized myCalPERS account.

We’re here to assist you with any questions about your annual enrollment or benefit options.
