Open enrollment for 2027 benefits will be held from Oct. 26 through Nov. 6.
This is an active enrollment year, which means action will be required on the part of each University of Georgia employee to ensure that benefits and associated costs match individual circumstances. Eligible faculty and staff can select their benefits choices by logging in to OneUSG Connect – Benefits.
All faculty and staff enrolled or enrolling in a USG healthcare plan must certify their tobacco status. Employees covering a spouse on their USG/UGA health plan must also update the working spouse certification; those faculty and staff who take no action during the open enrollment period will default to the $150 monthly surcharge for each item, which USG will not refund.
UGA will host an in-person benefits fair on Oct. 22 from 10 a.m. to 1 p.m. in Mahler Hall at the University of Georgia Center for Continuing Education & Hotel. Attendees are invited to connect with vendors, get benefits information and participate in vendor-provided giveaways. Open enrollment presentations will be held at 10:30 a.m. and 11:30 a.m. in Room D. Learn more about the USG benefit programs, changes to benefit plans for 2027 and all the resources available to employees.
The benefits fair will also feature a walk-in flu shot clinic staffed by the University Health Center. No appointment is necessary. Faculty and staff are asked to bring their UGA ID and medical insurance card to the flu clinic. Please note: Kaiser Permanente members must receive their flu shot at a Kaiser facility in order for it to be covered by insurance.
Registration for the event is not required. Those planning to attend can add this event to their calendar here.
