Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is here!

The Open Enrollment period begins on Thursday, October 29, 2026 at 8 a.m. and closes on Friday, November 20, 2026, at 5 p.m. Open Enrollment is the annual period when University of California retirees can enroll in benefits for the next calendar year. If you don’t act during Open Enrollment, you’ll continue your current health coverage, but your costs will likely change. Get started and learn all about your benefits here.

UCLA Health Care Facilitator Open Enrollment Help Desks

The Zoom help desk sessions are run in a Live Q&A format and are offered during Open Enrollment period. Please review the 2027 Retiree Open Enrollment Highlights below or on YouTube. We highly encourage you to listen to this prerecorded Open Enrollment presentation, which contains all the details about OE and highlights any recent changes, before joining the Help Desks. This will help us use our time more efficiently and allow you to bring forward any remaining questions you may have.

Review the Open Enrollment Highlights video (above) before joining the virtual help desks.

NOTE: The UCLA Health Care Facilitator (HCF) is here to assist with escalated medical, dental and vision plan issues that you have not been able to resolve on your own. The HCF is not your first point of contact for any issue. If you have questions about your retiree check, questions about plan premiums, or enrollment process or eligibility issues (such as your plan says you and/or your dependent(s) are not covered), please contact the Retirement Administration Service Center (RASC) at 800-888-8267 or log into UCRAYS to contact RASC customer service from within the portal. UC retiree plans are maintained by RASC. RASC is responsible for resolving your eligibility and enrollment issues when you have retiree coverage.
