The Open Enrollment window to submit 2027 benefits elections is more than halfway over. Supervisors will begin receiving email notifications this week for members of their team who have not submitted 2027 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 2027 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, 2027. 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 2026 coverage.
There are many resources available to employees at wichita.edu/openenrollment, including live open enrollment presentations and an on-demand webinar.
