MESSA Open Enrollment
What is Open Enrollment?
MESSA Open Enrollment is the annual period of time that Regular Faculty employees have an opportunity to evaluate their health care needs and make plan election changes for the upcoming calendar year. Additionally, employees may add or remove eligible dependents from health coverage as appropriate.
Dependents added to coverage may require proof of dependent eligibility. Employees with dependents requiring eligibility verification will be contacted by iVerifyPro separately.
The annual MESSA health insurance open enrollment period is from Oct. 19, 2026 - Oct. 30, 2026 by 5pm ET. Elections made during open enrollment will go into effect on January 1, 2027.
