Important Dates for Open Enrollment from People First

Colleagues,

Your 2025 benefits will roll over if you don’t make any changes.

Open Enrollment for the 2026 plan year began at 8 a.m. ET on Monday, Oct. 13, and ends at 6 p.m. ET on Friday, Oct. 31, 2025. This is your annual opportunity to change your benefits without a Qualifying Status Change event. The team at the Division of State Group Insurance offers a variety of benefits to support your physical and mental well-being. Engage with the team and explore benefits to ensure you have the best coverage for yourself and your dependents.

To learn about your benefits:

  • Download the 2026 Benefits Guide, which includes changes for the 2026 plan year and information on State Group Insurance providers, checklists, apps, and other resources.
  • Go to @StateGroupInsurance on YouTube to watch provider videos.
  • Review the benefits statement and required notices included in the Open Enrollment package that will be mailed to you in October.
  • Make your selections in People First before Open Enrollment ends.
