SF Unified School District Open Enrollment Guide

Welcome San Francisco Unified School District (SFUSD) employees to your Open Enrollment elections guide. The San Francisco Health Service System (SFHSS) administers your Medical and Vision benefits. Please note that SFHSS does NOT administer your Dental, Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA), or Voluntary Benefits. You must reach out to the SFUSD Benefits Office or follow their instructions to make changes to those benefits during Open Enrollment. 

Open Enrollment begins on October 1 and ends on October 24, 2025 at 5 p.m. PST. All paper applications and any applicable verification documents must be postmarked by October 24, 2025 to be accepted.

Your 2026 San Francisco Health Service System (SFHSS) benefits are here!

Each year, Open Enrollment provides you with the opportunity to review your benefits and make any updates that best support your health and well-being. For Plan Year 2026, the Open Enrollment period will be held from October 1 to October 24, 2025.

During this period, you may:

• Review your current medical, dental, vision, and other benefit elections.
• Compare plan options and make changes to your coverage.
• Update your beneficiaries.
• Enroll in or waive coverage.

I encourage you to take advantage of this important opportunity to ensure that your benefits align with your needs and those of your family.

In good health,


Rey Guillen
SFHSS Executive Director
