2025 Annual Open Enrollment
2025 Open Enrollment is Around the Corner
Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to enroll and make changes to your benefit choices, including elections for Flexible Spending Accounts. Outside of Open Enrollment, changes can only be made to your elections if you or a family member experiences an IRS Qualifying Event. You can remove dependents from your plan during this time without a qualifying life event. This is also a good time to review and update your beneficiaries.
To enroll in your 2025 Loyola University Chicago benefits, log in to Employee Self-Service during the open enrollment period: November 1, 2024 – November 15, 2024. All changes made during this period will be effective January 1, 2025.
You can review your current benefits by accessing Employee Self-Service (ESS)
