Open Enrollment for State of Maryland benefits will be online in the SPS Workday system from Tuesday, October 15, 2024, through Friday, November 8, 2024, at 5:00pm.

During this time, eligible employees can enroll, cancel, or make changes to their health benefits, with all changes becoming effective on January 1, 2025. Employees will receive alerts regarding Open Enrollment directly from the State of Maryland via the SPS Workday system.

We will share Open Enrollment resources on the HRSTM Open Enrollment website as they become available from the State of Maryland. Resources will include virtual and in-person information sessions with the State vendors, State Wellness information, as well as the 2025 Rates and State Benefits Guide. 

Open Enrollment will continue to be online in the SPS Workday system. Prior to the start of Open Enrollment, it is important for employees to login to their Workday account to ensure they have access, as their password may have expired. Instructions for logging into Workday and resetting your password can be found here. 

Please save the date and join the Benefits & Wellness team on Wednesday, October 16th at 12:00pm for a live, virtual Open Enrollment Information Session to learn more about any changes and receive updates and reminders. This session will be recorded and posted to the HRSTM Open Enrollment website by October 22nd. 

For employees who are adding new dependents to their health benefits during Open Enrollment, please review the required dependent documentation and start gathering the documentation now. Dependent documentation is required to be attached to the employee's Open Enrollment event by Friday, November 8, 2024, at 5:00pm.  

To ensure timely receipt of vendor communication, including new medical cards, we advise employees to confirm their home address is correct by logging into their myUMBC Profile (under About, and select View More). Employees address changes must be made in the employee’s Payroll Online Service Center (POSC) account.
