We’re halfway through Benefit Choice at https://MyBenefits.illinois.gov! Remember, you have until May 31 to make your State benefit elections or changes for the upcoming plan year. 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, or you do not want to make any changes to your coverage, you may disregard this email.
