Open enrollment is live — and you have until [CLOSING DATE] to select your benefit for 2027. Here’s how to do it.

Step 1 — Log in to the portal

Go to [PORTAL URL]. Use your usual company login credentials. First time? You'll be prompted to create a password — follow the on-screen instructions. Takes about 60 seconds.

Step 2 — Find your way around
Once you're in, your dashboard shows your current benefits and everything available for the upcoming year. Click any section to review, update, or select new coverage. There's also a Help section with FAQs and short video tutorials if you want a walkthrough.

Step 3 — Make your selections
Compare plans side by side, see cost differences, and review what's changed from last year. Take your time — what you choose now is your coverage for the full year. The only way to make changes after [CLOSING DATE] is a qualifying life event (marriage, new child, job change).

Step 4 — Troubleshoot if you hit a snag

• Can't log in? Use the "Forgot Password" link on the login page.
• Technical issue or benefits question? Email [HR EMAIL] or drop a message in [SLACK CHANNEL].

That's it. The whole process takes most people about 15–20 minutes.

Deadline: [CLOSING DATE]. If you take no action, your benefits will [ edit to match your policy]. Don't leave that to chance.
