Open Enrollment for your 2024 benefits elections is underway and runs through October 31st! As in recent years, 2023 features an ‘active’ Open Enrollment, meaning you will need to re-enroll for 2024 benefits even if you do not intend to change coverages. To complete enrollment, access theMembership Administration Portal (MAP) using your K-State Single Sign On (SSO) credentials. Please be sure to click “Save and Submit” at the end of the online enrollment process. Employees who are actively enrolled in health coverage, and do NOT complete the enrollment process for plan year 2024 will be defaulted to Plan N with a Health Reimbursement Account (HRA). The State Employee Health Plan (SEHP) has published the 2024 Enrollment Guide, which has detailed information on the available benefits. Changes for 2024 can be found in this K-State Today article.
