Open Enrollment
The health and wellbeing of our employees is important, and as such, the CSU is committed to offering benefits and plan options to cover your individual and family health needs. We encourage you to make sure your benefits work for you by reviewing your current plans and participating in the Annual Benefits Open Enrollment period:
When is Open Enrollment?

Making Changes to your Benefits
You will make changes to your benefit elections in Peoplesoft Self-Service. Remember to access Peoplesoft on or after September 15 but before close of business on October 10 to change your benefit elections.
Full details on health plans options are available on the CalPERS website. By viewing your CalPERS Health Plan Statement available through your personalized my|CalPERS account, you can view your current plan, and any specific health benefit changes that may affect you in the upcoming year. If you do not have an account, you can create one by visiting the my|CalPERS Log In page, and selecting “Register Now.”
If you do not wish to make any changes to your current benefits, there is no action required. Your current elections for these plans will automatically continue for plan year 2026.
However, you must re-enroll in a Health Care and/or Dependent Care Reimbursement Account if you wish to continue participation into the new plan year.
