Your annual Open Enrollment Guide was mailed to your home address in early October. You can also download the Guide on the City of Chicago website www.cityofchicago.org/benefits or by logging into the Employee Benefits Portal. The Guide provides an overview of the benefits available, and the deadlines associated with the annual Open Enrollment process. Open Enrollment is the only time of the year an employee may change, enroll, or cancel benefits (outside of a major life event such as a birth or marriage).
Make your changes today to avoid the rush!
