If you don’t participate in Open Enrollment…

• A Spouse Benefit Access Fee will automatically apply if you cover your spouse or state-registered domestic partner on your medical plan. If you qualify for an exemption, you must confirm this each year during Open Enrollment.
• You will not be enrolled in a Flexible Spending Account. Health Care and Dependent Day Care FSAs save you money by reducing your taxable income. You must re-enroll every year during Open Enrollment.
• Your current benefit plan elections will remain the same for next year.
