When will my Annual Enrollment elections begin?

In general, benefit elections made during Annual Enrollment are effective January 1 of the following year and remain in effect for the entire calendar year, unless you experience a qualified life event. See below for more information.

If you currently have WFM coverage and did not elect your benefits during Annual Enrollment, you will receive the same coverages you have today at the 2024 contribution rates, except you will not be able to contribute to an FSA or an HSA (if you are enrolled in the National Choice Plan or Whole Health Plan).

If you do not currently have WFM coverage and did not actively elect your benefits during Annual Enrollment, you will not have any coverage in 2024.

Qualified Life Events

If you experience a qualified life event such as marriage, divorce or the birth/adoption of a dependent child, you may be eligible to make changes to your benefit elections. See the Benefits Guide for more details.

Making Changes During the Year

Once you elect benefits during Annual Enrollment, they will remain effective through the end of the calendar year, unless you have a qualified life event as defined by the IRS, such as:

Marriage, divorce, legal separation or annulment
Birth, adoption or placement of a child for adoption
Your spouse/domestic partner acquires or loses coverage through his/her employer
Your child gains or loses eligibility for your coverage
A change in your place of residence that causes a loss or gain of coverage

When you have a major life event that can affect your coverage, you have 31 calendar days from the event to make changes to your benefits that are consistent with the applicable life event.

Adding a Dependent?

If you are electing to cover dependents for the first time, you must verify their eligibility during the benefits enrollment process. Your newly added dependents will not be added to your coverage until the dependent eligibility verification process is complete. If you are not able to provide the required documentation within 30 days of the benefit enrollment process, please contact the Whole Foods Market Benefits Service Center to discuss your options.
