Open Enrollment is October 15 – November 16, 2026

LACERS will accept applications for health plan changes, adding eligible dependents, and new enrollments from October 15 to November 16, 2026. Changes made during this period will become effective on January 1, 2027. If you do not wish to make changes, no action is required; your current LACERS health coverage will continue for the 2027 plan year. LACERS recommends reviewing the Open Enrollment Overview and Health Benefits Guide to stay informed of your benefit options.
