Annual Enrollment for 2025 benefits

It’s time to elect your benefits for next year

The Annual Enrollment period is your opportunity to review and make changes to your benefits for 2025. When you log in to Benefits Connect, you can:

• review the benefits available to you, including any new benefits your employer may offer for 2025, costs, and any cost-sharing with your employer
• add eligible family members or remove them from coverage
• enroll for benefits and/or make changes to your current coverage
• review and update your beneficiaries

After the Annual Enrollment period ends, you won’t have another chance to elect benefits or make changes for 2025 unless you have a qualifying life event.

Your 2025 benefits options

The benefits options on your Annual Enrollment reflect the 2025 Benefits Plan, which includes benefits enhancements such as these:

• Three dues packages support congregations and pastoral leadership — the Congregational Pastors Package, the Covenant Package, and Transitional Pastor’s Participation.
• The Vision Eyewear Plan is now the Vision Plan and includes a routine annual eye exam.
• The Term Life Plan is now the Term Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment Plan, expanding coverage to include AD&D.

The Medical Plan remains the same for 2025. All Benefits Plan members continue to have access to assistance and education programs through the Board of Pensions that support well-being.

As you complete your Annual Enrollment, if the benefits options available to you, or the costs, are not what you expected, discuss them with your employer. If your employer would like to make any changes to the benefits they offer, they must call the Board.
