You can enroll in a Reimbursement Account within 60 days of becoming "newly eligible" or during the annual fall open enrollment period.
You're newly eligible if:
- you're a new State employee hired after the open enrollment period;
- you were on an approved leave of absence during the entire open enrollment period;
- you experience a change in status described in the FlexElect Program Handbook that permits you to enroll as newly eligible; or
- your time base/employee designation changes from one that was ineligible to one that is eligible, or you change from a Permanent-Intermittent position to a permanent position with a time base of half-time or more.
Open Enrollment
Open enrollment is a time set aside each year when eligible employees can enroll, change plans, or add/delete family members. The open enrollment period for FlexElect Reimbursement Accounts is normally held each year during the month of September through mid-October. The effective date for actions made during open enrollment will be January 1st of the following year.
