2020 open enrollment is Monday, Sept. 21 - Friday, Oct. 16, 2020.

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your benefits, your family's needs and to fine-tune your benefits package. Many life events can occur during the year that can affect the types of plans and amount of coverage you need. The 2021 benefit plan options, rates and voluntary benefits can be found on the Fresno State Human Resources Open Enrollment website. Full details on health plans are available at calpers.ca.gov.

Virtual Website Sept. 21 - Oct. 16

LIVE Benefits Fair from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. Wednesday, Sept. 23

The Chancellor's office will be hosting a new virtual website, which will also provide our campus with a LIVE Benefits Fair. The LIVE Benefits Fair will be staffed by the Human Resources Benefits and Payroll team, health plans and voluntary benefit providers. During this LIVE Benefits Fair event, you’ll be able to “chat” with Benefits/Payroll and all the health and voluntary benefit providers.

The virtual website will be available during the entire Open Enrollment period. This website will provide downloadable information, PowerPoints or videos from health plans and voluntary plans. Please note that the "chat" feature will only be available during the date and time of our LIVE Benefits Fair. You must REGISTER to get access to the virtual website and our campus LIVE Benefit Fair.
