Three Easy Steps to Plan for 2027 Benefits Enrollment
1.
Review your current benefits and decide if you need to make changes. It’s important to assess your and your family's current and near-future needs. Find the right combination of benefits coverage and programs at the right cost to support your needs.
Did you know a 65-year-old couple retiring this year spends an average of $315,000 in medical expenses throughout retirement? If you are generally healthy and don’t go to the doctor often, the HSA Medical Plan may be right for you. You pay the lowest coverage premiums out of your paycheck, and you get to open a Health Savings Account, which is like another 401(k) account but for medical costs. Plus, Publicis Groupe helps you build your savings: $250 for single coverage and $500 for family coverage.
Don’t overlook voluntary benefits. We partner with insurance companies to provide discounted prices for pet, car, home, accident, critical illness, hospital indemnity insurance, and more.
Take this opportunity to review your beneficiaries while enrolling. Naming beneficiaries ensures your money will go where you want it to.
2.
Prepare to enroll in benefits that do not automatically carry over into 2027. Open Enrollment will be passive, meaning most (not all) of your 2026 benefit elections will automatically carry over into 2027. You will need to actively enroll in these accounts each year to use them:
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Health Care Flexible Spending Account (HCFSA)
Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA)
Limited Purpose Flexible Spending Account (LPFSA)
3.
Enroll in 2027 Publicis Benefits. You will receive notification on November 9 when you can log in to our benefits enrollment portal with bswift® to begin enrollment.
If you do not enroll, you will have the same or similar coverage as today, but at 2027 costs—with the exception of HSA, HCFSA, DCFSA, and LPFSA, which always require active enrollment.
