Penn Benefits Open Enrollment will end this Friday, May 5. If you haven’t reviewed your medical, prescription, dental, vision, and life insurance benefits elections for the 2023–2024 plan year, now is the time to do so.

If you are regular full-time faculty and staff or regular part-time and ACA-eligible faculty and staff, visit the Open Enrollment webpage for detailed information about your benefits options. You can also find details in the Benefits Enrollment Guide and Part-Time & ACA Eligible Benefits Enrollment Guide.

Postdoctoral researchers and fellows, who have new benefits options available through the Penn Postdoc Benefit Plan, can find details by visiting the Postdoctoral Researchers and Fellows webpage. Postdocs can also review the Postdoctoral Researchers and Fellows Benefits Enrollment Guide for more information.

Changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective as of July 1, 2023. If you don’t make changes during Open Enrollment, your current elections will roll over when the new plan year starts on July 1, 2023. You can update your benefits coverage 24 hours a day, 7 days a week in Workday. For complete step-by-step instructions, read the Self-Service: Manage, View and Change Your Benefits tip sheet.
