UCPathWhat You Need to Do
-
Review Your Options: Use resources like the Open Enrollment website (live Oct. 27) and your virtual benefits counselor, ALEX (live Oct. 29), to compare plans and personalized costs.
-
Check Your Mail: Keep an eye out for your Open Enrollment packet from UC and emails from UCPath for detailed information.
-
Take Action: Log in to UCPath between 8 a.m. on Thursday, Oct. 30, and 5 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 21, to enroll or make changes to your benefits.
After reviewing the medical plan changes, if you are satisfied with your current benefit elections and not making any changes, no action is required for Open Enrollment, and all existing benefits will roll over to the new plan year effective January 1, 2026.
