    • Complete the opt out affidavit - it is required every year.

  • Are you happy with your current benefit plans? Do they still fit your life and plans for 2025?

3. Review and Update Dependents and Beneficiaries

  • Review your benefits in your Workday Benefits & Pay application. To view, select Benefits from the drop down menu > Benefit Elections
    • Is every covered on medical and dental? Check who is on each plan. They can differ!
    • Need to add or remove anyone for 2025? Verify only qualifying dependents are listed.

4. Consider Plan Changes and New Coverage

  • Take a look at the medical and dental plan comparisons at the top of this page to see if another plan might be a better fit for your needs and budget.
  • Key Factors to Consider
    • Premium costs: How much will you pay each month for coverage?
    • Expected services: What types of medical and dental care do you anticipate needing in the coming year?
    • HMO vs. PPO: Do you prefer an HMO (Health Maintenance Organization) with lower costs and a more restricted network of providers, or a PPO (Preferred Provider Organization) with more flexibility but potentially higher costs?
    • Coinsurance and copays: How much will you pay out-of-pocket for each visit or service?
    • Out of pocket maximums and deductibles: What's the most you'll have to pay out-of-pocket in a year?
    • Provider choice and referrals: Do you want to be able to see any provider, or are you okay with needing referrals from a primary care provider?
  • Moving in/out of the metro area? Kaiser plans are not available to employees living and working outside the Kaiser service area more than 50% of the time.
  • FSA plans can save you a lot of money over the year!
    • Learn more about FSA plans.
    • REMINDER: Re-enrollment via Workday is required every year to continue participating in an FSA plan! Make sure your enrollment is complete!
  • While you can apply for Supplemental Life Insurance at any time throughout the year, a special enrollment opportunity is available to employees each year as described in the life insurance change information in section 1 above.
  • While there are no changes this year to other optional plans, you may want to consider adding Optional Short Term Disability (full time employees only) during Open Enrollment.
