Open Enrollment / Option Transfer

Navigate the best way forward with your Cornell benefits

Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to enroll in or make changes to your benefit plans.

During this time Cornell employees can make certain changes to their healthcare plans or enroll in a Flexible Spending Account (FSA). This is the only time many changes can be made, unless you experience a qualifying life event (such as marriage, divorce, adoption, etc.)
