Open enrollment, the annual opportunity for university employees to review and make changes to their benefits—medical, dental, flexible spending accounts, life insurance, vision and more—ends this week.
Changes made during open enrollment, which runs through Oct. 21, will go into effect Jan. 1, 2017.
Faculty and staff can make open enrollment selections online using the university’s enrollment website. Elections and/or changes must be made before 8 p.m. EST Oct. 21.
Plan changes in 2017—outlined in a previous GW Today story—include a choice between a single PPO plan and a Health Savings Plan (HSP) option for health care benefits.
