annual enrollment

Once-a-year registration

Annual enrollment is the designated period when employees or beneficiaries can sign up for or change their benefits coverage, typically health insurance, retirement plans, or flexible spending accounts.

Most organizations hold annual enrollment in the fall for coverage beginning January 1: I need to update my dental plan during annual enrollment.

Outside this window, changes usually require a qualifying life event like marriage or job loss.
