Open Enrollment feels like there’s often way too much going on. SDPEBA is here to make it a lot easier. One of the hardest things is just knowing what to do, and so! We have made a checklist that can help make getting everything done much easier.
□ Step 1: Make an Open Enrollment Plan!
□ Review which benefits you have and which benefits we offer on the SDPEBA portal. And decide if you want to enroll in new plans, make plan changes, or remove plans.
□ Step 2: Look over the resources once Open Enrollment begins!
□ Check the plan changes for the year in the Open Enrollment guide
□ Look over the SDPEBA OE website
□ Check the plans offered by the City/County if applicable.
□ Step 3: Call us to make changes or to add plans!
Note: if you don’t plan to make any changes, you don’t need to contact us. You’re already all set!
OE Resources to Check Out
One of the ways Open Enrollment gets overwhelming is the amount of information that’s thrown at you. In order to deal with that, we have broken our resources down to three sections: the magazine, the website, and the newsletter.
- Open Enrollment Magazine: This magazine is being mailed out mid-October to City Employees and retirees. County employees can find their magazine online.
- Open Enrollment Website
We have expanded our Open Enrollment website to make it much more accessible without leaving any details behind. Check out the links below and explore to your heart’s content!
Our October/November Newsletters are full of great information and articles all designed to help you make choices surrounding Open Enrollment. Check your inbox on October and November 1st for these great resources.
