2025 Benefits Open Enrollment Reminder

Please don’t miss the deadline for Open Enrollment 2025! Benefit elections must be received by Friday, November 8, at 3 p.m.

1. Review your options: The Open Enrollment page is now available.  It includes the 2025 Benefit Guide to give you an overview of all of your benefit options and the 2025 rate information and details about each plan, as well as links to access forms; and
2. The Benefit Checklist to give you a quick review of all of the options available to you. 

• Submit forms for required annual re-enrollment: Re-enrollment is required each year for the following, even if you don’t wish to make a change:
• A Health Savings Account (HSA medical spending account);
• A Flexible Spending Account (Full Purpose FSA, Limited FSA or Dependent Care); or
• The Health Insurance Opt-Out  (please provide a copy of proof of current alternative health insurance coverage).

3. Ensure your forms are submitted before 3 p.m., Friday, November 8. How can you submit your forms:

• Email (hr@meredith.edu);
