With open enrollment season upon us, employers should review their open enrollment materials for accuracy and communicate any updates. Some open enrollment periods may have already ended, therefore, plans adopting the new limits may need to provide a limited special enrollment period to allow participants to make adjustments in light of the updated limits.
