Open Enrollment is October 10- November 12, 2024, for changes effective January 1, 2025
Open enrollment is the annual opportunity for benefit-eligible retirees to add or drop an eligible dependent and make plan changes to benefits effective January 1, 2025. If you are currently enrolled in one of our retiree plans and do nothing, your benefit plan enrollment will continue at your current coverage level and at the rates in effect on January 1, 2025. Open enrollment is the opportunity for Kaiser Senior Advantage members the opportunity to switch to the district’s Anthem MAPD plan or United American supplement. Members enrolled in the MAPD plan or United American plan may switch from one plan to the other or have the option of switching to Kaiser Senior Advantage. Please note if you are currently enrolled in KPSA and switch to one of the other plans, you will not have the opportunity to re-enroll in SISC KPSA in the future.
