Benefits Open Enrollment

October 6, 2022

Dear SPS employee:

Each year, SPS employees have an opportunity review, change, and/or confirm their insurance benefit selection. This open enrollment period takes place each fall with any changes in plan design or employee selections being implemented January 1 of the next calendar year.

This year’s dates to enroll are October 17, 2022, through November 4, 2022. All benefit eligible employees must enroll in order to obtain, continue or waive benefits that begin January 1, 2023.

Since there are several changes and enhancements to our benefits this year, we are requiring all employees to meet in person with a Benefits Counselor who will be at your site/building to educate employees on all benefit options and to help you decide what is best for you and your family. Schedule your meeting with a Benefits Counselor HERE.

*Be sure to bring dependent information including Social Security number and date of birth.
