I keep hearing “passive” enrollment. What does that mean?
A passive enrollment means that if you are not making any changes to your current insurance coverages or waiving coverage (and you do not plan to have an FSA in 2021), then you do not need to re-enroll in your benefits. Your current benefit selections will simply roll-over on January 1, 2021.
However, if you have a Medical or Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), or you plan to enroll for the first time, you MUST complete the enrollment process. Enrollment, or re-enrollment, in an FSA is required annually.
**If you do not complete the FSA enrollment process, you will not have FSA coverage in the 2021 plan year.**
It is recommended that every eligible employee attend a meeting - even if you are not making changes to your benefits for 2021.
What if I have questions or need more help?
