2026 Open Enrollment

2026 Open Enrollment

Bloom with Us!

Make Your Benefit Elections from November 3 – November 14

Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to enroll in or make changes to your benefits and to determine who you cover under your plans. We are pleased to provide competitive benefits designed with your health and financial protection in mind. We encourage you to review your benefits carefully, so you’ll have the information you need to make Open Enrollment a success.

What You Need to Know About Open Enrollment

Open Enrollment is passive this year, meaning most of your benefits will roll over into 2026. However, you must re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) if you wish to participate. It’s also the perfect time to double-check your coverage, update beneficiaries, and make sure your plans are still working for you!

If you do not elect coverage between November 3 – 14, your current plans will carry over into 2026, with the exception of Flexible Spending Account(s). 

After Open Enrollment ends on November 14, you won’t be able to change your elections until the next Open Enrollment period—unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), such as marriage or the birth of a child. QLE changes must be made within 30 days of the event. It’s important you review your benefits information and take action now!

Let’s Get Started!

All employees must enroll in Workday.

Have questions? Please review the FAQ below.

Need help? Reach out to the Benefits Team at askpnc@wilburellis.com.

When You’re Ready to Enroll

  1. Log in to Workday (desktop or mobile) to enroll.
  2. Review your current elections and make changes, if necessary.
  3. Add or remove dependents from your coverage.
  4. Update beneficiaries for your Life and AD&D insurance, 401(k), and HSA plans.
  5. Re-enrollment is not required for Supplemental Life coverage—it will roll over automatically. All coverage levels are Guaranteed Issue (GI) this year, and you may increase coverage for yourself, your spouse, or your child without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI).
  6. Re-enroll in your FSA (required each year you want to participate!)
  7. Submit your elections before November 14.

NEW! Voluntary Life Insurance   

Your coverage will roll over to 2026. You may increase coverage to any level for yourself, your spouse, or your child without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Because of this, you are eligible to elect coverage or increase your current amount without Evidence of Insurability and additional medical questions. In addition, rates for Voluntary Life Insurance are lower this year, making it a great time to review and adjust your coverage levels.

NEW! Family Planning Benefit

Wilbur-Ellis will offer a $15,000 lifetime reimbursement benefit through Maven Maternity Services to support employees and their families on the path to parenthood. This benefit can be used for eligible expenses related to surrogacy, adoption, and fertility treatments in any combination, with a total lifetime cap of $15,000 across all family planning categories.

Note: Fertility treatment is only available to employees and dependents enrolled in a BSCA medical plan.

NEW! 2026 FSA Contribution Limits

  • Healthcare FSA: $3,400
  • Limited Purpose FSA: $3,400
  • Dependent Care FSA: $7,500 (or $3,750 if married and filing separately)

Reminder: All FSAs must be re-elected each year if you want to participate.

NEW! Vendors Moving to Sun Life

Life and Disability coverage is moving from Unum to Sun Life, giving you more consistent service and support. Leave applications will also run through Sun Life, creating a smoother, more streamlined experience for employees.

Medical Rates

Health care costs are rising, but Wilbur-Ellis is committed to keeping coverage affordable. In 2026, HDHP rates will increase about 2% and PPO about 5%.

Additionally, we’re simplifying medical premiums by removing the lower salary tier—all employees will pay the same rate. This shift aligns with market standards and makes our benefits easier to understand, more competitive, and more sustainable. 

Dental & Vision Rates

Dental and Vision rates remain unchanged.

Increased Vision Care Allowance

The frame allowance is increasing to $200.

Enrollment Questions

  • When do I need to complete my enrollment?

For Supplemental life, this year you may increase coverage to any level for yourself, your spouse, or your child without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Because of this, you are eligible to elect coverage or increase your current amount without Evidence of Insurability and additional medical questions.
  • What If I miss Open Enrollment?
    • Your coverage will roll over to 2026 except for FSA’s. For Supplemental life, this year you may increase coverage to any level for yourself, your spouse, or your child without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI).

  • Why do I have to re-enroll? I want to keep the same plan.

    • You can continue to make changes throughout the open enrollment period of November 3 – November 14. You will want to choose and review your selections carefully. Once open enrollment closes, you cannot make any additional changes, even if you make a mistake. You will have to wait until next year’s open enrollment or within 30 days if you experience a qualified life event to make more changes.

Medical Plan Questions

  • What are my plans and choices for 2026?
    • There are three choices for Medical plans in 2026:
      • PPO
      • HSA Yellow
      • HSA Black
    • The medical benefits are all Preferred Provider Organization, or “PPO” plans. You choose your healthcare provider—plan benefits are highest when you visit in-network doctors, labs, and hospitals. The network is the same for all plans.
    • Please see the plan summaries on the right of this page to find out more information on all three plans.
  • What are the costs of the plans?

Maven & Family Planning Benefits

Below are answers to common questions about eligibility and enrollment for Maven’s Fertility, Maternity, Adoption, and Surrogacy benefits.

  • Who is eligible to receive the $15,000  reimbursement for fertility treatment expenses?
    • Employees or their dependents who are receiving fertility treatments while covered under our Blue Shield (BSCA) medical plan are eligible for reimbursement of qualified fertility treatment expenses, up to $15,000.
  • Who is eligible to receive the $15,000 reimbursement for adoption or surrogacy expenses?
    • All full-time employees are eligible to receive reimbursement toward eligible adoption or surrogacy expenses, regardless of their benefit enrollment status.
  • How do I enroll to access Maven’s Fertility and Maternity benefits?
    • For fertility benefits, the individual undergoing treatment must be enrolled in the medical plan—no additional action is required. For adoption or surrogacy benefits, full-time employees are automatically enrolled and do not need to take any further steps.

Other Questions

  • Who can I enroll in coverage?
    • Eligible dependents include:
      • Your legal spouse or your domestic partner (a domestic partner affidavit is required)
      • Your children up to age 26
      • Your children of any age, if incapable of self-support due to a mental or physical disability
  • What happens if I enroll my domestic partner?
    • To enroll your domestic partner and/or their children on your plan(s), you must complete a Declaration of Domestic Partnership affidavit and return it to the benefits department.
    • The IRS considers the employer-paid portion of your domestic partner’s health coverage to be a taxable benefit that must be included in your gross income. This means that amount that Wilbur-Ellis pays toward your domestic partner’s benefit premiums will appear as taxable (imputed) income on your paycheck.
  • When can I change my elections?
    • Open enrollment is the one time you can change your benefits a year without an IRS-approved qualified life event. If you miss open enrollment or make a mistake, you will not be able to make changes until next year’s open enrollment or within 30 days if you experience an IRS approved life event.
  • How do I set my life insurance beneficiary?
    • During Open Enrollment, the system will let you set your Basic life & AD&D and employee supplemental life & ADD insurance beneficiaries.
  • How do I change my 401k elections?
    • 401k elections can be changed at anytime, so are not a part of Open Enrollment. To change your 401k elections, log-in your account at 401k.com.
  • How do I increase my voluntary life coverage?
    • For 2026 only, you may increase coverage to any level for yourself, your spouse, or your child without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI). Because of this, you are eligible to elect coverage or increase your current amount without Evidence of Insurability and additional medical questions.
  • Can I talk to someone about my questions?
    • If you have specific coverage questions, please contact the insurance providers (BlueShield, Delta Dental, VSP, WEX).
    • For all other questions, please contact the benefits team at ASKPNC@wilburellis.com.

FSA & HSA Questions

      • Must be enrolled in the HSA Black or HSA Yellow health plan.
      • Is not covered by another non-HSA-eligible health plan.

General

How can I update my HSA payroll contributions?

You can update your contribution at anytime in the Workday Benefits tile.

When will my funds be available to use after they are deducted from my payroll?

It can take up to seven business days from the date funds were deducted from your payroll for them to be posted to your account.

Can I contribute to my HSA once I turn 65?

You can continue contributing to your HSA once you turn 65 as long as you do not enroll in Medicare. Keep in mind you are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A if you sign up for Social Security benefits. Your HSA will not be affected if your spouse enrolls in Medicare, but you, as the primary account holder, do not. Once you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to your HSA, but can continue using funds in the account for eligible expenses.
