Do you need to re-enroll this year?
If you don't want to make any changes to your current benefits, you do not need to re-enroll unless you have an HSA or FSA - then you must re-enroll each year by law. Still confused? Take a look at our map to figure out if you need to re-enroll!
All changes must be made and submitted by 11:59 p.m. on October 31.
If you need assistance enrolling online, call the Open Enrollment Help Desk from October 15 through October 31 at (757) 881-5061 x.11008.
Help Desk Hours:
- 7:30am-6:00pm, Monday through Friday

FSAs must be re-elected every year!
FSA contributions will be deducted over 10 months beginning in January. You will indicate the amount you wish to contribute through ESS. To calculate the appropriate deduction, you must first determine the total annual amount and then follow the steps below:
- Monthly paid employees divide the annual amount by 10.
- Bi-Weekly paid employees divide the annual amount by 20. (This will give you the amount to be entered as the period pay amount in ESS)
Maximum contributions for 2025:
- Medical: $3,200
- Dependent Care: $5,000
Employees who enroll in the High Deductible Health Plan + Health Savings Account (Equity 3500 & HSA Administrators) cannot enroll in the medical FSA.
HSAs must be re-elected every year!
