We’re halfway through Benefit Choice at https://MyBenefits.illinois.gov! Remember, you have until June 1st to make your State benefit elections or changes for the upcoming plan year. Elections will be effective July 1, 2026. For help registering and logging in to MyBenefits, see the MyBenefits FAQs.
If you have completed your FY 2027 Benefit Choice elections, or you do not want to make any changes to your coverage, 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. As a reminder, rollover of unused FSA funds only applies to the Medical Care Assistance Plan (MCAP) and requires re-enrollment in the plan.
