Open Enrollment, the annual opportunity for employees to evaluate their benefit options and make elections for the upcoming year, ended November 15. To make changes to 2024 elections at this time, print a hard copy of the health election form and submit it to hrconnection.osu.edu by 11:59 p.m. on December 31, 2023.
