The answer is: it depends. If you take no action, most of your benefits and dependent information will carry forward to 2016 EXCEPT for Flexible Spending Accounts and vacation purchase. If you do want to get these benefits or make any other changes for next year, be sure to enroll before 11:59 p.m. Eastern Time on Tuesday, November 10, 2015!
You can sign back in to benefits.com and make changes to any of your elections until 11:59 p.m. Eastern time on Tuesday, November 10, 2015. After that, you won’t be able to change your elections until next year’s Annual Enrollment unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event.
