UCPath – Open Enrollment Options for 2023


This message outlines the methods by which employees may submit their elections during Open Enrollment.

Self-Service Option

Open Enrollment election options will be available for employees starting 8:00 a.m. on Thursday, October 27, 2022 and ending at 5:00 p.m. Friday, November 18, 2022 (Pacific Time).  Employees are strongly encouraged to use the online self-service option during the Open Enrollment period.

Open Enrollment election options are based on benefit eligibility level; therefore, only the benefit plans employees are eligible for will be available to elect, which improves accuracy and allows for faster processing.

eBenefits Form Option

UCPath is introducing the enrollment reason “2023 Open Enrollment” on the Benefits eForm.

The Benefits eForm will be included under the Open Enrollment category in the UCPath Forms Library. Employees may select “Benefits eForms: Open Enrollment” and select “2023 Open Enrollment” from the Reason for Request option. Once this selection is made, employees will have the option to select from the following categories:


  *   Faculty/Staff Benefits
  *   Medical Resident Benefits
  *   Graduate Student Benefits
  *   Postdoctoral Scholar Benefits


Each benefit program selection will open an eBenefits Form for the employee to add dependent(s) and make enrollment changes for plans that are available through the Open Enrollment period. Unlike the online self-service option, the eBenefits forms are not configured by eligibility level, so all available plan options will display.

PDF Form Option

Employees will have the option of submitting an Open Enrollment PDF form. The OE forms for each benefit program, as well as the Leave without Pay options, will be located in the UCPath portal under the Forms Library link found on the left panel of the home page.

There are three (3) options to submit the completed/signed PDF form to UCPath:

Submit an inquiry to UCPath: http://ucpath.universityofcalifornia.edu

·       Log in using Single Sign On (SSO)

·       Click Ask UCPath

·       Select Submit an Inquiry

·       Use the following drop-down selections:
Topic: Open Enrollment
Category: Enrollment Form
Subject: OE PDF Form-2023 Elections

Email to the UCPath Center: ucpath at universityofcalifornia.edu<mailto:ucpath at universityofcalifornia.edu>

·       In the subject line, write: OE PDF Form-2023 Elections

·       If the subject line does not read "OE PDF Form-2023 Elections," the form processing may be delayed.



Mail to the UCPath Center:
14350-1 Meridian Parkway
Riverside, CA 92518



NOTE: For Leave Without Pay Open Enrollment elections, employees may follow the processes listed above using the subject line: LWOP OE Form Submission.



Forms received after 5 p.m. (PT) on Friday, November 18, 2022 will be considered as late enrollments and UCPath may not approve and process the elections.  Forms that are mailed must be postmarked by Friday, November 18, 2022.
