Retiree Open Enrollment

Each November, retirees may participate in 海角社区’s annual benefits open enrollment. In late October, you will receive benefits and cost information at your home address.

2026 Retiree Open Enrollment

Welcome to the 2026 retiree Open Enrollment period!

As a 海角社区 retiree or the spouse of a retiree, you can newly elect or change your medical and/or dental coverage during annual Open Enrollment. This year’s Open Enrollment begins on November 10, 2025 and ends on November 21, 2025, with changes effective January 1, 2026.

You are not required to act if you are currently enrolled in a 海角社区 medical and/or dental plan and wish to maintain your current enrollment status. Your current medical and/or dental plan coverage will automatically be carried forward to 2026.

You are required to act if you would like to change your current 海角社区 medical and/or dental plan enrollment or if you would like to newly enroll. To change your coverage or newly enroll, complete the proper Excellus application form and return it to 海角社区’s Human Resources department by the November 21, 2025 deadline.  Your application form(s) can be emailed to humanresources@sjf.edu or mailed to 海角社区, Attention: Human Resources Department, 3690 East Avenue, Rochester, NY 14618-3597.
