What is Open Enrollment?
Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to reflect on your and your family’s needs and fine-tune your benefits package to match. Many life events can occur over the course of the year that can impact the types of plans and amount of coverage you need. Take this opportunity to think about the changes you and your family have experienced in the past year, or anticipate in the coming year. Then, determine which benefit plans and programs will best meet your needs and make your selections online using the new GW Benefits Enrollment System: go.gwu.edu/directbill.
