What is open enrollment? Link to this section
Open Enrollment (OE) is your annual opportunity to review and update your SFUSD-administered benefits and your medical and vision benefits. This year’s enrollment is passive, meaning for all eligible employees if you're satisfied with your current elections and do not need to make any updates, no further action is required. The exceptions are Flexible Spending Accounts (Health Care FSA and Dependent Care FSA), which require you to log into Bswift to make your FSA elections for the 2027 plan year if you wish to be enrolled. If no action is taken for FSA, your current FSA elections will end on December 31, 2026. We encourage all employee to take time to review their current benefit elections to ensure they still meet their needs.
During Open Enrollment you can take the following action to :
- Enroll or re-enroll in medical, vision, dental, Flexible spending accounts, and other voluntary benefits
- Add or drop dependents from coverage
- Decline coverage
