Current Open Enrollment Period for
University of California Postdoctoral Scholar Benefits Plan (PSBP)

Open Enrollment October 27 - November 18, 2022
Changes Effective January 1, 2023

What's new for 2023?

There will be no benefit changes for 2023. New ID cards will be issued for the Health Net medical plans.

UC will now offer postdoc employees an opportunity to save on their health and dependent care expenses by offering Health Flexible Spending Account (HFSA) and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) plans. These are pre-tax benefit accounts used to pay for either out-of-pocket health care expenses not covered by your plan with the HFSA, or eligible child and adult care expenses (i.e. daycare, summer camp) with the DCFSA. Eligibility for these programs is limited to postdoc employees in Title Codes 3252, 3255, and 3256.

Rates and contributions have changed slightly.

What changes can be made at Open Enrollment?

• Change from a medical or dental HMO to the PPO plan (or vice versa) or add eligible family members
• Enroll in or opt out of medical, dental, and vision plans, or cancel coverage for family members

Postdocs are strongly encouraged to attend a webinar or in-person meeting where available.
