We’re halfway through Benefit Choice at https://MyBenefits.illinois.gov! Remember, you have until June 2nd to make your State benefit elections or changes for the upcoming plan year. Elections will be effective July 1, 2025. For help registering and logging in to MyBenefits, see the MyBenefits FAQs.
If you have completed your FY 2026 Benefit Choice elections, or you do not want to make any changes to your coverage, you may disregard this email.
Note: Health Alliance Participants must make an election.
Note: You must re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) and Health Savings Account (HSA) annually to continue your participation. As a reminder, rollover of unused FSA funds only applies to the Medical Care Assistance Plan (MCAP) and requires re-enrollment in the plan.
For information on how to review and verify your current elections, make a change, enroll/re-enroll in Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs) or enroll/re-enroll in Health Savings Account (HSA) view here.
IMPORTANT NOTE FROM CMS: View the online FY26 Health Plan Map for the most up to date information. We encourage you to confirm that your preferred providers participate in your chosen health plan each year. Changes may occur without notice.
