Retiree Open Enrollment FAQs

Open Enrollment is your yearly opportunity to change your benefit selections without experiencing a Qualified Life Event (QLE), such as the birth of a child or marriage.

Open Enrollment begins on Monday October 28th and continues through November 15th.

You can only change your benefits outside of Open Enrollment if you experience a Qualified Life Event (QLE) such as the birth of a child or marriage.

If you experience a QLE during the year, be sure to contact the Arizona Department of Administration (ADOA) within 31 days of the event or you will need to wait until the next Open Enrollment period to make changes to your benefits.
