Ready to go?
When you’re ready, use your work computer or personal device to login to PeopleSoft Nov. 1 – 15, and select the Open Enrollment tile. Make your changes, review your Preview Statement, then use the Submit Enrollment button. For help with PeopleSoft, call the IT Service Center at 206-263-4357. Go to Open Enrollment.
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 (FSA). 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, unless you are enrolled in the KingCare Select Virginia Mason Franciscan Health or Eastside Health network, which will no longer be offered.
