Summer Benefits Enrollment

Summer Enrollment Begins June 24
The Employees Retirement System of Texas (ERS), which administers health and other insurance benefits for State of Texas employees, will open this year's enrollment period from Monday, June 24, to Friday, July 5, 2024. During this time, employees can make changes to their benefits portfolios without a qualifying life event.

This is your opportunity to:
  • Add or drop health insurance
  • Add or drop dependent insurance
  • Increase life insurance coverage
  • Add or drop disability insurance
  • Make other changes to your insurance coverage
  • Enroll in a health care and/or dependent care spending account or cancel an existing one

What's new this year?

  • More information is coming soon. Register for Get the Scoop, our annual summer benefits enrollment information session, to learn more!

  • Your can also register for health plan webinars and any others on ERS’ online calendar of enrollment events. To register, simply click on the webinar(s) you want to attend and provide the required information. You'll get an email with a login link. The enrollment events calendar also lists in-person Summer Enrollment fairs. 

How to make changes:

For your convenience, you may make changes to your benefits portfolio during the annual enrollment period (Monday, June 24 - Friday, July 5) in one of two ways:

  1. Online 24/7 directly with ERS at www.ers.state.tx.us. 
  2. By calling ERS during normal business hours at (866) 399‐6908 .

PLEASE NOTE: If you make summer annual enrollment changes, ERS will send you a confirmation statement listing all the changes you made through email. Please review the Summer Enrollment Confirmation Statement carefully and confirm it accurately reflects the benefits change(s) you made. Correspondence from ERS, whether by email or letter, is sent to the address(es) you have on file with ERS.

If you don't want to change your benefits portfolio, don't do anything. Your current benefits will remain the same for the upcoming academic year (9/1/2024 to 8/31/2025).

We know that navigating benefits changes can feel overwhelming, and we are here to help! Please contact the Benefits Team at Benefits@uhd.edu if you have any questions or if you would like any support in reviewing your benefits elections for Plan Year 2025. We are happy to schedule an appointment with you to ensure that you make the most appropriate elections for your situation.
