It’s that time of year again—health insurance open enrollment is just around the corner. We want to share some important updates before summer is in full swing.
Big News: OEBB has announced a Passive Enrollment this year!
Why Passive Enrollment?
- Minimal Benefit Changes: Since there are minimal benefit changes this year, OEBB is making re-enrollment simple and automatic.
- Focus on Modernization: OEBB staff are diligently working on a new modernized Benefits Management System, expected to be ready for the 2025-26 plan year. Pausing mandatory enrollment allows them to focus on this crucial project.
What Does Passive Enrollment Mean for You?
- Automatic Re-enrollment: If you are satisfied with your current benefit plan selections, your enrollments will automatically roll over to the next plan year. No action is required if you want to keep your benefits the same.
- Making Changes: If you want to make benefit changes, you will need to log in to MyOEBB and make your selections during the open enrollment period.
