Employee Annual/Open Enrollment
Summer Enrollment is a time to make changes to your Benefits without having a Qualifying Life Event.
ERS scheduled Collin College for Summer Enrollment from 7/7/2025 – 7/18/2025. Changes to benefits will be effective 9/01/2025.
You do not have to take any action if you do not want to make any changes. Your current coverage will continue through Plan Year 2026 (9/1/2025 - 8/31/2026).
Premiums are changing for the following plans, see rate comparison and detailed rate sheet:
· HealthSelect of Texas and Consumer Directed HealthSelect premiums for dependents will increase by 8%.
· State of Texas Dental Choice Plan premiums will increase by 8%. Collin College will continue to pay 100% of Dental Coverage for Employee Only. DeltaCare® USA dental health maintenance organization (DHMO) premiums will stay the same.
· State of Texas Vision premiums will increase by 10%.
· Texas Income Protection Plan (TIPP) long-term disability rates will decrease from $0.68 to $0.63 per $100 of monthly salary. Short-term disability premiums will not change.

Please Note:
· TexFlex FSA Reimbursement Plans:
§ Healthcare FSA - If you currently participate, you can only carry over $640 into
the new year.
§ You must waive this plan if you do not want to continue it. If you waive the plan, you forfeit any rolled over funds.
§ If you do not make any changes, your current monthly contribution will carry over into the new Fiscal Year.
§ All current accounts can be used through 8/31/2025.
· Optional Life and Short/Long Term Disability: These are salary-based plans. If
you have a salary increase, then your premiums will increase as well. Optional Life
is also age-based so rate brackets change every 5 years starting at age 40.
