Retiree Benefits Open Enrollment
Each year, Sandia holds an Open Enrollment – usually in the fall – which is your opportunity to review your benefits and make any necessary plan or coverage changes that would go into effect Jan. 1 of the following year.
Open Enrollment virtual events provide an overview of any benefit changes and a chance for you to hear from the plan providers. Dates and times are announced on www.snlretireebenefits.com before each open enrollment period.
From planning for the income you’ll need, to setting a potential date, to starting the process, Sandia offers resources and tools to help you on your way.
