Open enrollment for 2024 benefits ends at 6 p.m. ET today (Nov. 7). Employees are encouraged to complete and submit their enrollment elections before 6 p.m. ET to allow the enrollment system enough time to process their enrollment.
To enroll
To enroll, all employees should go to one.purdue.edu, select “2024 Open Enrollment for Faculty & Staff” and log in to the Benefitfocus website with their Purdue username and password. Detailed steps to enroll are available for Purdue and Purdue Global employees.
Enrollment reminders

- New dependents: Remember to upload the required documentation to the Benefitfocus system by Dec. 1, 2023.
- Working spouse: Those who elect spousal coverage must complete the Working Spouse Premium Waiver Form each year as answers may impact premiums. Forms should be submitted by Dec. 1, 2023, to ensure premiums are correct for January 2024.
In Benefitfocus, employees should do the following:

- Select Spouse Employment from Category drop-down list
Instructions for how to upload the Working Spouse Premium Waiver Form are available here. See the Working Spouse Guide for more information.
With the exception of the above benefit items, all other current benefits will roll forward into 2024.
The benefit choices made during open enrollment will be in effect for all of 2024 unless an employee has a qualifying life event.
Resources to help
Purdue University and Purdue Global employees have a wealth of resources and information available to help them as they decide which benefits are the best fit for themselves and their families, if applicable. These resources are available via the respective dedicated open enrollment websites:
Post-enrollment survey
To help Human Resources-Benefits continually improve, the team is seeking employee opinions and feedback regarding their experience with open enrollment for 2024 benefits. And as HR-Benefits begins to develop the 2025 benefits package, employee input is valuable. Answers to all questions are anonymous, and it takes just a few minutes to complete. Once employees have completed enrollment, they are encouraged to fill out the survey available here.
