Open Enrollment
OUSD Open Enrollment is March 23rd - April 30th
What is Open Enrollment?
Open Enrollment is a one-month window (March 23 - April 30) each year during which employees can change their benefits coverage to be effective on July 1 (the start of the following fiscal year).
*Flexible Spending Accounts require re-enrollment! You won’t be automatically enrolled in any Flexible Spending Account (FSA) – you need to make an election to participate in an FSA each year. All other benefits elections do roll over from year to year.
