2025 Open Enrollment (OE) is coming! During the month of November, all retirees eligible for health care insurance may make changes to their insurance enrollment and re-enroll in in-lieu. Remember that you must re-enroll in health-in-lieu and dental in-lieu annually as those elections do not roll over. For members with dependents under age 24, Open Enrollment is the time you can add your dependent children to your medical, dental and/or vision coverage (some coverage is available until age 26). Members who previously submitted full time student confirmations, and your dependent remains under the age of 26, you may need to re-enroll your dependents.
