OPEN ENROLLMENT FOR 2026 EMPLOYEE BENEFITS with Dependent Audit

October 1 - October 25, 2025

• Changes made during Open Enrollment become effective on January 1, 2026.

*This is a dependent audit year.  Dependent Eligibility documents must be provided for ALL dependents being covered in 2026, regardless of whether they were previously covered.  See page 1 in the Employee Benefits Guide for detailed information about Dependent Eligibility.

Payroll deductions for 2026 benefits begin with the first paycheck in December, 2025, except for FSA deductions. Employees must review payroll deductions in December, 2025 and January, 2026 for accuracy.  Discrepancies must be reported to the Benefits office no later than January 15, 2026. Corrections or adjustments cannot be made after January 31, 2026.

New member ID cards will be mailed to the address in your PlanSource profile in mid-December.  If you do not receive new member ID cards by the first week in January 2026, please contact the carrier directly.  Member ID cards are not mailed by the Benefits Office.  Review carrier contact information on the right menu.

#Employees that are on leave during Open Enrollment may complete Open Enrollment upon returning to work by contacting the Benefits Office.  Contact Kyle Stout for an appointment after the return to work has been processed by Human Resources.  

The Consolidated Omnibus Budget Reconciliation Act (COBRA) allows workers and their families to continue group health benefits under certain circumstances, such as job loss, transition between jobs, death, or divorce.  

After termination/separation from Alachua County Public Schools, a Notification of Termination of Benefits email is sent to your email address, as listed in your PlanSource profile. You may need to provide this proof of coverage to obtain new coverage with another employer or through Marketplace.  To ensure timely receipt, update your preferred contact information in PlanSource with your current email address prior to your separation.  

In addition, COBRA details will be sent to your home address within 10 days from the date the Benefits Department receives your Separation from Service form.  To ensure timely delivery, update your home mailing address with Human Resources prior to your separation.
