Check to see if there are changes to your plan: New regulations may affect your insurance and/or benefits. Open Enrollment gives you the opportunity to review any plan changes to make sure your current plan is still the best choice for you and your family.

Check the dollar amounts in your Savings or Spending Accounts: Make sure your contributions accurately reflect your needs for the upcoming plan year so that you'll be reimbursed for all the money you put into your account, or to maximize your savings.

Make sure your dependents are still eligible: There are specific rules for dependent eligibility. Continually enrolling a dependent who is no longer eligible is considered fraud. Make sure your dependents are still eligible and know when they will lose eligibility so you can make other arrangements.

Explore new programs and opportunities: CSEBA evaluates benefit offerings annually to ensure they are relevant and meet members' needs. They often roll out new benefits and programs that meet the changing needs of members. By reviewing open enrollment materials, you can take advantage of any new programs and opportunities available to you.

Browse Other Plans: As you move through different stages in life, you may have different needs that your insurance plan can cover. The plan you were on last year may have worked for you then, but you and your family may have experienced a life-changing event and your current plan may not be the best fit anymore. Be sure that you are enrolled in the plan that will do the most for you and your family.

Dependents Moving Out of State: Do you have children who are going away to college or moving out-of-state? It is important to review your current plan to see what benefits are available to your dependents while away at school or if living out of the State of California.
