2025 Open Enrollment for All Diocesan Benefit Eligible Employees
The following information is for employees of the Diocese of Jefferson City, including parishes and Catholic schools:
The Open Enrollment period for Calendar Year 2025 ends today Nov. 18.
Please watch for an email from no-reply@benmanage.com, which will include the 2025 Benefit Enrollment Guide. Please whitelist this email address so you don’t miss important messages in the future.
Included in the benefit enrollment guide will be directions on how to enroll for benefits effective Jan. 1, 2025, as well as information and rates for all benefits offered by the Diocese of Jefferson City.
If you are eligible for full benefits and you didn’t receive an email with the 2025 Benefit Enrollment Guide, please check your spam/junk folder.
Your parish bookkeeper and principal will also receive a copy of the guide.
A few items to emphasize:
- If you would like to participate in the FSA (Flexible Spending Account) or DCFSA (Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account) for calendar year 2025, you MUST make a new election. This benefit will not automatically renew. Unused FSA funds, up to a maximum of $640, will automatically rollover to 2025.
- If you choose to utilize the self-service option to enroll, you will receive a confirmation email upon completion of your enrollment.
If you do not receive a confirmation email within 24 hours of completing your online enrollment, please contact the enrollment center, at 877-338-6311, prior to the end of Open Enrollment, as this means the enrollment was not completed.
Once Open Enrollment is closed, we are unable to make adjustments to your benefits unless you have a qualifying event.
