The last day to make Benefit Choice changes will be here soon! Remember, you only have until June 2 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, 2025. For help registering and logging in to MyBenefits, see the MyBenefits FAQs.
If you have completed your FY26 Benefit Choice elections, or you do not want to make any changes to your coverage, you may disregard this email. Health Alliance Participants must make an election.
Note: You must re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and your Health Savings Account (HSA) annually to continue your participation. As a reminder, rollover of unused FSA funds only applies to the Medical Care Assistance Plan (MCAP) and requires re-enrollment in the plan. 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.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM CMS: View the online FY26 Health Plan Map for the most up to date information. We encourage you to confirm that your preferred providers participate in your chosen health plan each year. Changes may occur without notice.
