2026-2027 Annual Open Enrollment
Monday, April 27 – Friday, May 8, 2026
Take a moment to review your current benefits and make sure you’re getting the most out of your coverage. The upcoming Open Enrollment period is for the 2026–2027 plan year (July 1, 2026 – June 30, 2027).
We’re continuing with the same trusted carriers for all benefit plans:
- Medical: PPO Plan administered by Blue Cross Blue Shield of North Carolina
- Dental: Delta Dental
- Vision: Delta Vision
- Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA): Flores
- Healthcare FSA
- Dependent Care FSA
This year’s open enrollment will be passive. This means your current benefit elections will automatically carry over into the new plan year unless you make changes.
Important Reminder: Flexible Spending Accounts (Healthcare FSA and Dependent Care FSA) do not roll over. You must actively enroll or re-enroll in these tax-advantaged accounts during the Open Enrollment period to continue participating.
