What

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to make health and welfare benefits changes and to add or drop coverage for eligible dependents. Be sure to bookmark the Annual Open Enrollment webpage, go.gwu.edu/2024OE - your destination for all Open Enrollment- related information!

Who

Full and part-time faculty and staff in benefits-eligible positions and their eligible dependents.

When

October 9, 2023 until October 27, 2023 at 8 p.m. (ET) (3 weeks only!).

Why

Even if you are happy with your current benefit elections, Open Enrollment is a good time to review and confirm that your benefits are the right choices for you and your family. If you choose not
to take action, your existing coverage options will roll over into 2024,* with the exception of the flexible spending accounts (FSAs).

Please note: Health Care FSA and Dependent Day Care FSA options do not roll over and require you to re-enroll.

Take some time to review your options; otherwise, you cannot make changes until the next Open Enrollment period unless you experience a Qualified Life Event (QLE), such as a change in marital status, the birth or adoption of a child, etc.

*The cost of coverage will reflect 2024 contribution amounts.
