Employee and Retiree Service Center → Retirees → Benefits → 2024 Open Enrollment
Retiree Benefits Open Enrollment is coming soon! Open Enrollment is your chance to review your benefit options and make changes to your current plans. Any changes you make to your benefits plan during Open Enrollment will be effective January 1, 2024.
This fall's Open Enrollment will begin Monday, October 9, and will end Friday, November 3. You will receive the 2024 Retiree Benefit Summary in the mail at your home address. You also will receive the 2024 Retiree Benefit Rate Schedules booklet, which details the monthly cost of benefits at each cost sharing arrangement while factoring in Wellness Initiatives credits.* The 2024 Retiree Benefit Summary will explain available benefit options, detail the process for making changes to your benefits, and include the benefits enrollment form. As Open Enrollment approaches, that information also will be available on this web page.
Benefit Plan Highlights for 2024
There are no changes to MCPS-offered medical, prescription, dental, or vision plans for 2024.
Throughout Open Enrollment, ERSC will offer individual assistance virtually. You will be able to register for a 15-minute Zoom session with an ERSC representative. Sign-up information will be available on this web page beginning October 3, 2023.
ERSC will hold both in-person Open Enrollment Benefit Fairs and online Open Enrollment Benefit Fair Webinars this year. ERSC staff and health plan representatives will be available in person and virtually to answer your benefit questions. For the webinars, retirees have the option of clicking the webinar link and joining the webinar using their computer microphone and speaker, or calling in using the phone number provided. You will find dates, times, plan/vendor options, and access information below.
