The Open Enrollment period for Plan Year 2025 for West Virginia University benefits-eligible faculty and staff begins today (April 2) and will run through Wednesday, May 15.
Open Enrollment is your only opportunity to make changes to your elected insurance benefits for the plan year without a qualifying life event. All changes for Plan Year 2025 will be effective July 1.
Employees are encouraged to review their current coverage, evaluate their benefit needs, learn what’s new for Plan Year 2025, and make changes or additions to their benefits. This is a changes-only enrollment. If you do not make any changes, your current benefits will be carried over to the new plan year.
