Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment Begins on October 1
Open Enrollment for 2026 begins on October 1, 2025, and runs through November 15, 2025.
This is the time for SERS retirees to review their coverage and request changes, if applicable.
Dental and Vision Biennial Open Enrollment Period
SERS has a two-year enrollment period for dental and vision coverage.
Monthly premiums are increasing. However, the rates will not change during the two years. In addition, premiums must be paid through December 31, 2027, even if other coverage is obtained or services are no longer used.
Current dental and vision plan enrollment automatically renews unless plan changes or cancellation is requested during Open Enrollment.
Retirees with at least 10 years of service who previously declined dental and vision can newly enroll through November 15. Coverage would begin on January 1, 2026.
Enrollees with Medical and Prescription Drug Coverage
Current Aetna and AultCare plan enrollees will find their 2026 monthly premiums within their personalized mailing, expected during the month of September.
SERS Marketplace Wraparound HRA enrollees will also receive a SERS mailing. However, they will be notified of their 2026 premiums directly from their Marketplace plan.
The 2026 Open Enrollment Guide lists coverage and premium changes for the upcoming year:
- See page 7 for dental and vision information
- See page 14 for Medicare plan information
- See page 20 for non-Medicare and Marketplace Wraparound HRA information
Current plan enrollment is automatically renewed if no changes are requested in writing during Open Enrollment.
