The Open Enrollment window to submit 2026 benefits elections is now more than halfway over. Supervisors will begin receiving email updates this week if members of their team have not submitted 2026 elections. The HR Total Rewards team is asking all supervisors to help spread the word to all staff and faculty that Open Enrollment is mandatory.
Reminder: All benefits-eligible state employees must make their 2026 elections by the deadline on Oct. 31. Employees currently enrolled in medical coverage who do not complete an open enrollment election will be defaulted into medical Plan N with a use-it-or-lose-it HRA effective Jan. 1. Employees should log in to the Member Administration Portal at sehp.member.hrissuite.com to make their elections, even if they don’t plan to make any changes from their current 2025 coverage.
There are many resources available to employees at wichita.edu/openenrollment, including open enrollment presentation as well as an on-demand webinar.
