Time is running out for open enrollment! If you need to change your benefit elections, update your spouse/dependents, enroll or re-enroll in a Flexible Spending Account, add on the new Avēsis vision hardware coverage…do it today! The Benefits Portal is available through my.drake.edu (see the top tile under Human Resources on the left-hand side of the screen).

Open enrollment ends on Nov. 30, 2022, at 11:59 p.m. sharp.

The new Plan Year starts Jan. 1, 2023. If you have not enrolled in benefits for 2023 yet, please don’t wait until the last minute. If you have any questions or problems navigating the benefits portal, reach out to us at drakehr@drake.edu or contact Marlene directly at marlene.heuertz@drake.edu.
