A lot can change in a year (or fifty)

Microsoft is continually growing and evolving to meet the moment, and so are your benefits. Take a moment to explore important updates for 2026, including a new dental provider, a new process for covering dependents, changes to medical plan options for some employees, and more. You can choose the options that best fit your life during the 2026 Open Enrollment period from November 3rd through November 21st. 

This is your moment

Open Enrollment is your opportunity to:

  • Review your current coverage
  • Consider you and your family's benefit needs for coverage and care in 2026
  • Attend informational sessions to learn more about the benefits available to you
  • Make changes to your benefit elections. Changes made during Open Enrollment take effect on January 1st.

Open Enrollment runs from Monday, November 3, through Friday, November 21 at 11:59 PM PT. This is your only chance to change your benefits for 2026—unless you experience a qualifying life event—so it’s important to evaluate your coverage, needs, and options. If you take no action during Open Enrollment, most of your elections from the previous year will roll over except for the Healthcare Flexible Spending Accounts (General Purpose and Limited Purpose) and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, which require you to re-enroll each year.
