Stephanie HouseIt’s that time of year again—time to review and make changes to your benefit elections without a qualifying event. This once-a-year opportunity starts on Oct. 30 and continues through Nov. 20.
Chapman University employees can:
- Add, cancel or change coverage
- Enroll or re-enroll in a flexible spending account (FSA)
- Elect or modify your health savings account (HSA) employee contributions
- Add or drop eligible family members from coverage
What You Need To Do
You must log in to My Chapman from Oct.30 until Nov.20 to review and confirm your benefit elections for 2020, and make sure that your beneficiary designation is up-to-date, even if you don’t want to make any changes. The Open Enrollment site also has the PeopleSoft Open Enrollment Instruction Guide for added assistance.

Good news! Our current benefit plan options and providers will remain the same. Below is an overview of what’s changing effective Jan. 1, 2020:
