2026 Open Enrollment: Better Together
Better Together, celebrates the partnership between you, your benefits, and the resources available to help you make informed decisions for the year ahead. This year's Open Enrollment marks an exciting milestone as employees will complete their benefit elections for the first time through Employee Self-Service in CHRS, offering a streamlined process to review and manage your benefits in one convenient location.
Open Enrollment is an annual opportunity each year to review current benefit plan selections to ensure they continue to meet your personal and family needs.
During this time, you can:
- Enroll in a plan
- Change a benefit plan
- Add or Remove dependents
- Cancel a benefit plan
- Enroll/Re-Enroll in a Health Care and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account
- Cancel or Enroll in Voluntary Benefit Plans
- If you are enrolling or canceling voluntary benefit plans, those changes will be made directly with the vendors, not in your Employee Self-Service in CHRS.
The effective date for selections made during Open Enrollment will be January 1, 2027.
If your current benefits continue to meet your needs and you do not wish to make any changes, no action is required. Your current benefit elections will automatically continue into 2027.
