Important Changes

Effective 2024, El Paso ISD will transition to a January – December Benefit Plan Year.

Open Enrollment will take place October 1 through October 31, 2023, with a benefit effective date of January 1, 2024. All current plan year benefits, deductibles and premiums will be effective until December 31, 2023.

Benefit Enrollment Assistance will be scheduled during the month of October.

A mid-year enrollment period will be held in July for employees who elect to make changes to their current plan, effective September 1.

The following information should be considered if you are making changes during the July mid-year enrollment period:

1. Benefit enrollment in July will mean that changes effective September 1 will be in a “short plan year.” (September through December = 4 months)
2. Deductibles reset in September for changes elected in July and reset again in January 2024.
3. Enrollment in October for benefits effective in January is still required.

After considering the impact on your current benefit selections, if you wish to make changes in July, enrollment assistance will be available at The Professional Development Center July 10 - July 14, 2023, from 8am - 4pm.

Enrollment in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA) must be completed in October during the Open Enrollment period.
