Welcome To Your Benefits

Our most important asset is our people. That's why Union County offers a comprehensive benefits program to meet all your needs. Review this guide to learn about everything provided to you and to determine which benefits are best for you and your family. You will find many resources outlined in this guide available during enrollment and throughout the year to help you make the most of your benefits plans and answer your questions.

The health care coverage you elect begins with your initial eligibility date and continues through the end of the enrollment year. Union County’s benefits year begins July 1, 2026, and ends June 30, 2027.

You may also enroll or change your benefits during the annual Open Enrollment period, May 1st through May 29th for a July 1st effective date.

You must make your elections during the specified enrollment window, or you will not have coverage. You may not enroll again until the next Open Enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying life event. To have coverage, you must confirm your benefit choices through BenefitFirst by the deadline.
