Re:
It's Time for Benefits Open Enrollment


Benefits Open Enrollment begins on Thursday, October 28, 2021 at 8:00 a.m. and ends on Friday, November 19, 2021 at 5:00 p.m.

Satisfied with your current benefits elections? Not making any changes? Then, no action is required and all existing benefits will roll over to the new plan year, January 1, 2022; unless you are enrolled in the Flexible Spending Account Plans which require the renewal of contribution amounts each year during Open Enrollment.

New this year


*        ALEX - your new personal benefits coach - helps you find the plans that fit you best.

*        Learn about the new pharmacy benefit manager for CORE, UC Care and UC Health Savings Plan, Navitus Rx. No member action required.

*        UC's vision plan pays more towards contact lens costs.

*        New Benefits Open Enrollment deadline: Make your elections by Friday, November 19 at 5:00pm.

UCR Open Enrollment website


*        The UCR 2022 Benefits Open Enrollment website<https://hr.ucr.edu/ucr-open-enrollment-2022> is available for valuable information about this year's benefit plans, and highlights important changes and information employees need to know about their benefit costs and options for the coming year.
