What’s New for 2026

Supplemental Life Insurance Special Enrollment

If you’re a Salaried Team Member and currently enrolled in Basic Life Insurance, you will have the opportunity to increase your Supplemental Life Insurance coverage election by 1 times your annual base salary without providing evidence of insurability — even if you currently do not have Supplemental Life Insurance coverage. Note: If you don’t enroll during this opportunity but choose to enroll in later years, evidence of insurability will be required.

Expansion of Blue Select Networks

The HSA Medical Plan and the PPO Medical Plan will continue to offer (in certain geographical areas) high-performance provider Blue Select Networks with high-quality, cost-efficient care. You will receive a new medical ID card if your location is part of the Blue Select Network in 2026. While most current providers participate in the Blue Select Network, provider affiliations vary and are subject to change. It is always recommended to check if your provider is in network, which can easily be done via credenceblue.com or 877-733-4375.

1. Basic Life Insurance will be reduced at age 65. See SPD for details.
2. Supplemental Life Insurance is based on your current age and will increase if you move to a higher cost age bracket.
