Open Enrollment is your once-a-year opportunity to make any changes you want to your CF Voluntary benefits & State Group Insurance benefits. You can change your benefits as many times as you want before the deadline.

If you don't make any changes during Open Enrollment, your current benefits elections will carry over automatically to the next plan year. However, you should still review your mailed benefit materials or the State Group Insurance Open Enrollment page to be aware of any premium increases or plan changes and to ensure your dependents' eligibility and information are correct, as the state's insurance plans are for the calendar year, not a rolling year. 

The Florida Department of Management Services (DMS), State of Florida, will be distributing benefit plan information. 

State Group Insurance Retirees   

• For Assistance: Contact the People First Service Center at (866) 663-4735, Monday-Friday 8-6 PM.

Log in to People First. Please verify that your email and mailing address are correct to ensure that your benefits plan information is delivered.

• If you want to make any changes, additions, or drop in coverage, remember to select the Complete Enrollment button when you are ready to save changes. Make sure all changes are correct, any eligible dependents are enrolled in coverage, and any ineligible dependents have been removed.

All changes made during Open Enrollment take effect Jan. 1, 2026.
