Open Enrollment for State of Maryland benefits will be online in SPS Workday from:
Tuesday, October 14, 2025, through Friday, November 7, 2025, at 5:00 PM.
During this time, eligible employees can enroll, cancel, or make changes to their health
benefits, with all changes becoming effective on January 1, 2026. 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 2026 Rates and State Benefits Guide.
Open Enrollment will continue to be online in the SPS Workday system. Before
the start of Open Enrollment, employees need to log in 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
15th at 12:00 pm for a live, virtual Open Enrollment Information Session to learn more
about any changes and receive updates and reminders.
For employees who are adding new dependents to their health benefits during Open
Enrollment, please review the required dependent documentation and start gathering
documentation now. Dependent documentation is required to be attached to the
employee's Open Enrollment event by Friday, November 7, 2025, at 5:00 pm - NO EXTENSIONS
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.
