Open Enrollment

During Open Enrollment, you can enroll in the State Health Plan, switch between plans and add or remove dependents without a qualifying event. Please remember that when adding dependents to a benefit plan, you will be asked to provide documentation of dependent eligibility under the State Health Plan.

To enroll or make changes to your State Health Plan benefits, members use the eBenefits system. If you are employed by any of the organizations above, or your organization uses any of these systems, please enroll by clicking on the corresponding gold button above.

Outside of Open Enrollment, members can make changes due to a qualifying life event. A list of qualifying life events can be located in the applicable Benefits Booklet.
