Open Enrollment begins Monday, May 19 and ends on Friday, June 6 at 5:00 p.m. (AKDT).

What’s Changing?
For the past eight years, the Trust has kept contribution rates steady by managing costs and absorbing increases. To maintain reserves, rates will increase for the 2025/2026 Plan Year:

  • Plan A: $345/month (increase of $50)
  • Plan B: $165/month (increase of $25)
  • Plan C: $40/month (increase of $5)
  • Plan D: $45/month (increase of $5)

How to Enroll:
Starting May 19, you can:

  • Click “Open Enrollment” at the top of this page to log in and complete your form online, or

You MUST complete Open Enrollment if:

  • You want to change your Plan.
  • You want to enroll in a Health Care Reimbursement Account (HCRA) — HCRA elections do not roll over.
  • You and your spouse are enrolled in Plan A — you must confirm your spouse’s eligibility for other employer-sponsored coverage.
