2024 LAwell Highlights & Enrollment Guide

2024 LAwell Highlights

2024 Open Enrollment Guide

Your previous year’s benefit elections will automatically continue* to the following year at the new 2024 per pay period costs, unless you make a change during Open Enrollment.

*Enrollment in the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA) and/or the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA) does not automatically continue – if you wish to participate in one of these accounts in 2024, you will need to elect to do so during Open Enrollment.

Some Open Enrollment election actions require you to submit supporting documentation to complete the enrollment. A few common examples are: enrolling a new dependent in coverage, enrolling in Cash-in-Lieu, and enrolling into some life insurance coverage levels. Check your confirmation statement for further details and deadlines.
