Ready, set, enroll: Open enrollment for 2024 benefits begins today
Benefits open enrollment for 2024 begins today (Oct. 24) and ends at 6 p.m. ET Nov. 7. All employees are strongly encouraged to review and actively enroll for 2024 benefits. Remember that benefit choices made during open enrollment will be in effect for all of 2024 unless an employee has a qualifying life event.
Quick reminders
Except for health savings accounts, health reimbursement accounts and flexible spending accounts, current benefits will roll forward into 2024 unless employees log into Benefitfocus and make new selections. Those who wish to have an HSA, HRA or FSA must log into Benefitfocus and elect them for 2024.
Note: The Tobacco Survey and Working Spouse Certification must be completed as answers could affect premiums. Employees who do not complete the Tobacco Survey and Working Spouse Certification each year during enrollment will be charged the tobacco-user additional premium (for both employee and spouse, if covered) and the working spouse premium (for spouse, if covered) the next plan year.
Enrollment resources – Purdue University
Via the open enrollment 2024 website, Purdue employees have access to a variety of helpful resources and more, including:
- An open enrollment guide, which is available for employees at all campuses (including a version in Spanish). The online guide includes details about what is changing, how to enroll and available resources.
- The recorded enrollment presentation (also available in Spanish), which provides a detailed overview of information pertinent to benefits open enrollment for 2024 in an interactive format. For employees who were unable to attend a virtual presentation or those who would like a quick review, the recorded presentation highlights key enrollment information, including plans being offered, how consumer-driven health plans work, what’s new for 2024, how to enroll and more. Viewers can pause or rewind at any time to review specific information.
- The Medicare & Purdue Medical/HSA Plans presentation, which is helpful for those nearing (or over) age 65 and explains Medicare basics and how it works. Purdue medical plan options and the things individuals should consider when deciding how — and when — to enroll in Medicare versus remaining on a Purdue medical plan are also covered.
- In-person labs (West Lafayette campus) will be available Thursday (Oct. 26) through Nov. 3 at various times each day and will take place at 2550 Northwestern Ave., Room 1160C. Spanish labs also are available today (Oct. 24) and Wednesday (Oct. 25).
- Fort Wayne, Hammond and Westville employees also have one-on-one sessions available through Nov. 7. Details and registration information are available on the Resources webpage.
