Changes To the Open Enrollment Process

With the implementation of CHRS, changes to the following benefits must be completed through the CHRS Employee Self-Service Portal. Through CHRS you can:

  • Enroll in or change health or dental plans;
  • Add or remove spouse, domestic partner or eligible dependents to/from health and/or dental plan;
  • Elect or cancel FlexCash. If you have other non-CSU group medical and/or dental coverage, you may elect the FlexCash Plan which pays you cash in lieu of CSU coverage;
  • If you are satisfied with your current benefits, and your employment status is not changing, you do not need to participate in Open Enrollment. Your existing benefits will be renewed for the next year except for HCRA and DCRA, healthcare and dependent care reimbursement accounts, which must be re-enrolled each year).
  • Elect participation or re-enroll in the Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) or the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA). If you are participating in 2026, and want to continue participation in 2027, you must re-enroll during open enrollment.
