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/2025oe - your destination for all Open Enrollment- related information!
Who
All GW retirees and their eligible dependents.
When
October 7, 2024 until October 25, 2024 at 8 p.m. ET (October 15 – December 7, 2024 for those who participate in a Medicare plan through Via Benefits.)
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 2025.*
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 2025 contribution amounts.
