Motivate People Help Desk (PHD)

2026 Open Enrollment Period: 

Monday November 10 - Friday November 21 (11:59 PM EST) 

Please note that this is a PASSIVE Open Enrollment. Employees will be automatically re-enrolled in their current plans (subject to 2026 rates) unless they choose new benefit elections for 2026. To enroll in HSA and/or FSA plans for 2026, you must make new elections during Open Enrollment. If you’re waiving coverage, you must complete Open Enrollment in Dayforce and select the "waive" option for each benefit. 

Health Coverage

The Benefits Open Enrollment period is your opportunity to enroll in, waive or change your benefits elections for 2026. These benefits include medical, dental and vision insurance as well as annual contributions to a Flexible Spending Account (FSA), Dependent Care FSA (DCFSA) and Health Savings Account (HSA).

Updates for 2026 

• Employee Premiums/Contributions  
• We're happy to announce that in vitro fertilization (IVF) is included in our benefits packages as defined by the plan. 
• Mutual of Omaha offers an annual increase option for EMPLOYEE ONLY, allowing employees to raise their optional life insurance coverage by up to $20,000 without Evidence of Insurability (EOI) until they reach the guaranteed issue limit of $100,000.
