2026 Open Enrollment

October 3 - 22, 2025

While it is recommended you take this opportunity to review your benefits elections, no action is required unless:

  • Waiving County medical insurance. You must waive in Benxcel.net and upload your proof of other group insurance.
  • Funding a Tax Saving(s) Account in 2026. You must select Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts (DC FSA), or Health Savings Accounts (HSA) during Open Enrollment in Benxcel.net. 
  • Click Benxcel Single Sign-On to bypass user credentials while on the County network.

If you do not take action during Open Enrollment, your 2025 medical, dental and vision plan elections will rollover to 2026. 

Thank you,
