Do I need to participate in Open Enrollment if I don't want to edit my plans?

It depends. Some companies allow for a "passive" Open Enrollment - which means you do not have to login and make benefits elections if you'd like to keep the same (or equivalent) plans. It's important to note that plans (and costs) do often change, so it's a good idea to review your benefits offerings each year.

You should consult with your HR team to see if they're offering a "passive" Open Enrollment. If they are not, you must login to enroll in benefits even if you do not intend to make any changes to ensure you have the proper plan information on file, and are deducted the appropriate amount to pay for your benefits.
