2025/26 Open Enrollment: May 1 - May 30 at 5 pm
To ensure continued sustainability, the City is making significant changes to Network and HRA plans starting July 1.
It's important that you educate yourself about plan options. To assist, we are hosting virtual and in-person information meetings throughout May.
- Check out the schedule on our Events tab

What you need to do
You must enroll to have coverage in the following plans starting July 1, 2025:
- Medical
- Personal HSA contributions
- Flexible Spending Accounts (Health Care & Dependent Care)
- Medical Opt Out incentive - Choose "Request" from WorkDay's menu (upper left) > Create Request > All > Medical Insurance Opt Out
You also must enroll if you'd like to:
- Change which dependents are covered
- Change plans or coverage levels
- Change life insurance beneficiaries
Employees:
- Increasing life and/or long term disability coverage involves two steps:

- Return to Workday mid-June to submit Hartford's Evidence of Insurability questionnaire.
- Colonial will be onsite at various City locations for Voluntary benefits enrollment and assistance
Retirees:
- Adding new people to dental/vision requires uploading proof of continuous coverage as part of the Workday enrollment process
- Upload your proof on the Workday screen where you submit your open enrollment event, or email it to benefitquestions@tucsonaz.gov
- Your proof must show that each new person you'd like to add has had dental/vision insurance from July 1, 2022 or earlier through May 1, 2025 or later.
- Documentation must include name(s) of people being newly added, dates of coverage, type of plan (dental or vision), and needs to clearly show that the proof was furnished by an employer's benefits team or the insurance carrier

Medical Insurance Changes 2023/2024 - Message from the City Manager
Medical Changes 2025/2026 - Word from Timothy Thomure, City Manager
The Fiscal Year 2026 health plan begins July 1 and I would like to make you aware of the changes that were approved by Mayor and Council for the new plan year. These changes were driven by continued increases in medical and prescription costs, coupled with our desire to continue offering choices in plan types and benefits to suit our diverse employees. My team and I met with the Benefits Committee, representing both labor union and non-represented employees, to develop my recommendations. To preserve the health of our plans, while providing excellent access to medical and dental benefits, I recommended changes that were then approved by Mayor and Council. Please review the plan changes so that you can make informed decisions during the upcoming Open Enrollment period.
The Network Plan and the High-Deductible Health Plan (HDHP) with Health Reimbursement Account (HRA) require plan design changes and rate changes. You’ll note that there is no increase in employee contributions for the HDHP with Health Savings Account (HSA) plan. Using the input from Mayor and Council, we also will extend the employer contribution incentive to HSAs ($1,500 Individual/$3,000 family) for one additional year. As we prepare for the upcoming Open Enrollment period, please note the following reminders:
- Review the Open Enrollment booklet to understand the plan design changes and rate changes
- Attend an Open Enrollment meeting to review and understand the changes and how they may affect you, and to have the opportunity to ask any questions
- For those of you in the HRA plan, I advise you that the City is actively looking at closing that plan for new enrollment, and phasing that plan out in the next few fiscal years
- Prepare to complete the positive enrollment for medical coverage, which is required if you want to continue medical coverage for you and your dependents in FY26
The FY26 Open Enrollment period is May 1 to May 30 (last business day of the month) and is a positive enrollment for medical coverage only, which requires all employees and retirees who are currently covered on a City medical plan to re-enroll and select coverage for the FY26 plan year. Coverage will be effective July 1, 2025.
