The last day to make Benefit Choice changes will be here soon! Remember, you only have until May 31 to make your State benefit elections or changes for the upcoming plan year on https://MyBenefits.illinois.gov, including health, dental, life insurance, flexible spending account (MCAP/DCAP) enrollment, and health savings account (HSA) enrollment. Elections will be effective July 1, 2023. For help registering and logging in to MyBenefits, see the MyBenefits FAQs.
If you have completed your FY 2024 Benefit Choice elections, you may disregard this email. Note: You must re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Account (HSA) annually to continue your participation. If you are retiring in the coming months, you are encouraged to make benefit elections during the current Benefit Choice period in the event your retirement plans change.
