It’s Time for Open Enrollment
Open enrollment is the time each year when you can sign up for a new PERACare plan (health care, dental, or vision), add eligible dependents, or change plans.
We mailed open enrollment information to you in early October, so check your mail! Your packet includes a personalized letter with premium(s) for the current year and next year, a list of any changes to the plans for 2026, and all the information you need to review your coverage.
If you haven’t received your open enrollment packet, you can log into your secure online account and view your personalized letter in your Secure Messages.
What to know:
- Open enrollment runs from October 20 to November 20.
- There will be no change in carriers for the 2026 plan year, though there are some changes to benefits for some of the health plans. Your personalized letter will give you the details on those changes.
- We remain committed to keeping your costs as low as possible, but please be aware premiums will see an increase in 2026.
- Plans take effect January 1, 2026.
If you have any questions, we encourage you to attend an open enrollment webinar to speak with PERA staff or with the PERACare carriers.
