ACTIONS TO TAKE DURING OPEN ENROLLMENT

  1. Learn about your health benefit options by watching the above Open Enrollment video guide.
  2. CalPERS plans changing for 2022. CalPERS three PPO plans, PERSCare, PERS Choice, and PERS Select, will transition to two plans: PERS Platinum, PERS Gold and CalPERS Blue Shield Access+ HMO will be available in Sonoma County. If you are enrolled in PERSCare PPO or PERS Choice PPO you will be automatically transferred to the PERS Platinum PPO plan, and if you are enrolled in PERS Select PPO you will be automatically transferred to the PERS Gold PPO, unless you make another election during Open Enrollment. Review these changes and if you wish to make a plan change for 2022, complete the appropriate enrollment forms. All forms are available in the Forms tab below.
  3. If you plan to enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (Health and/or Dependent Care), you must submit an enrollment form for 2022. Enrollments from 2021 do not automatically enroll you in the 2022 plan year. Health FSA contributions are limited by the IRS to $2,750 per person in 2022 and DCAP contributions to $5,000 per year per eligible family. • New for 2022: The rollover option will replace the Grace Period option. The rollover option allows FSA participants to rollover up to $550 of unused health FSA funds into the 2023 plan year. This rollover option will replace the grace period.
