Faculty/Staff Daily Digest

The annual Health Insurance Open Enrollment period for state of Connecticut employees is underway through Friday, May 26, 2023.  

Any changes made during Open Enrollment will be effective July 1, 2023. 

There are no changes to the medical or dental plans.  No action is required if you wish to remain enrolled in your current coverage; your current elections will automatically continue. The Care Compass website (https://carecompass.ct.gov/openenrollment/) includes information about the available plan options. 

A summary of your current health plans/coverages can be viewed on the Core -CT home page > Benefits > Benefits Summary
