Annual Enrollment begins Oct. 16

Annual Enrollment—this year, Oct. 16 through Oct. 31—is your once-a-year opportunity to elect your benefits for the coming year. It is also an occasion to explore all the resources you may be missing out on, including well-being programs and resources, financial security benefits, and other offerings available year-round to you and your family members. Take advantage of this time to review and update your benefits, ensuring you have the best coverage to support you and your loved ones in 2025.

Read about what to expect for 2025 benefits, including enhancements to the 403(b) retirement plans.

Remember, you must take action by Oct. 31 if you want to:

• Select a different medical plan
• Contribute to a flexible spending or health savings account
• Take advantage of JHU's child care voucher or scholarship programs
• Add or remove a dependent
• Increase your life insurance coverage

If you don't actively enroll, you'll have the same benefits next year that you have now, at 2025 rates.

To help you make informed decisions, make sure to take advantage of the many resources available to you.

• Visit the Annual Enrollment webpage for plan comparisons, videos, and more.
• Attend a benefits fair and a town hall webinar to hear from the Benefits team and get answers to all your questions. View the schedule and mark your calendar to attend. Can't make a live session? Watch a recorded webinar here.
