It’s that time of year again!
Mark your calendars for MSU Benefits Open Enrollment, which runs October 1–31. The Benefits Open Enrollment period allows eligible MSU faculty and staff to change their desired benefits plans, such as health, dental, life insurance, flexible spending accounts and voluntary MSU Benefits Plus programs.
Benefits Fairs will take place at the Breslin Center on October 20 from noon to 6 p.m., October 21 from 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. and October 22 from 7 a.m. to 3 p.m. They feature Open Enrollment sign-up assistance and health, dental, retirement, life, flexible spending account and MSU Benefits Plus vendors. Some other MSU units will be in attendance, such as the Clinical Center, which will offer flu shots again this year.
Now is a good time to re-evaluate your benefits needs to prepare for the October enrollment period. Find more information and resources relating to Benefits Open Enrollment here.

Thanks, Robin, the page has been updated!
This still takes us to the 2015 open enrollment guides. Not the 2016.
Hi Shelly, the 2016 guides will be online by Monday!
As a retiree, do I need to update benefits – particularly when it comes to spouse health insurance?
Hi there, you only need to complete the enrollment/change form if you want to make any plan changes. To continue covering a spouse on your insurance, you do need to complete the affidavit (the yellow form in your packet). If you have additional questions, please feel free to call 517-353-4434 or email SolutionsCenter@hr.msu.edu. Thank you!
