Your benefits. Your choices. 
Three weeks to decide.

Open Enrollment is your once-a-year chance to review your 2027 benefits (outside of a Qualifying Life Event). Work through three quick steps below to confirm your elections still fit, or make changes where they don't. 

If you're happy with your current medical, dental, vision, life, and disability coverage, you don't have to do anything. Your current benefit choices carry forward automatically into 2027. The one exception: You must take action to enroll or re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA). Your current FSA elections will not carry forward into 2027.

Three Steps to Complete Enrollment

Be confident in your choices; plan your decisions before you log in to UAccess to enroll.

Review what's changing in 2027

Review 2027 plan updates: deductibles, Flexible Spending Account/Health Savings Account limits, and other annual adjustments. Most of this is informational; only some of it requires action.

Check what applies to you

Did anything change in your life this year, or will it next year? Find out if it affects your benefits. Answer a few questions about your life, and we'll show you which benefits are worth a second look. It takes about five minutes.

Enroll in UAccess

Once you know what applies to you, review your options and submit your elections in UAccess before Nov. 6. Nothing to change? Except for Flexible Spending Accounts, your current elections carry forward into 2027.

Benefits Expos

Learn more about your 2027 benefits options at the Virtual Benefits Expo, and meet benefits vendors and HR staff at the In-person Benefits Expo. Attending is optional, but it's a good way to get answers before you make changes or enroll in something new.

You’ll have a chance to win door prizes from vendors, get a free flu shot (no appointment needed) and spend time with therapy dogs from Pet Partners of Southern Arizona.
