LACERS Retired Members Update for November

OPEN ENROLLMENT HAS ENDED

November 17 was the final day to make changes to your LACERS health and dental plans during the Open Enrollment period. Any changes submitted by that date will take effect on January 1, 2026.

Unless you experience a qualifying life event, your next opportunity to make changes to your LACERS health or dental coverage will be during the 2027 Open Enrollment period.

2026 HEALTH BENEFITS GUIDE UPDATE

LACERS recently discovered that our office stock of the 2026 Health Benefits Guide included a significant number of Guides with missing pages. In an abundance of caution, we are asking our Members to please check the Guide that they received in October with their Open Enrollment packet. If your Guide is missing pages, please contact LACERS Health at: LACERS.Health@lacers.org with the subject line: 2026 Health Benefits Guide Missing Pages, or call our Member Service Center at (800) 779-8328, and LACERS will make arrangements to have a corrected Guide mailed to you. In the meantime, you can access the 2026 Health Benefits Guide here. We apologize for any inconvenience.
