What’s new and changing for 2025

Our commitment to your physical, mental, and financial wellness guides everything we do. 

For 2025, we’re making it even easier for you to provide financial security for your family through enhancements to our programs, including higher HSA and FSA limits, more HSA investment choices, and a one-time chance to buy more life insurance.

New! Manage more accounts with Fidelity

Beginning January 1, 2025, Fidelity will replace MyChoice Accounts as the administrator for the health savings account (HSA), flexible spending accounts (FSAs), and commuter benefits. With Fidelity, you’ll manage these accounts on the same platform as your 401(k) plan. Plus, Fidelity will give you more HSA investment options and tools you can use to make smart money moves.

What you need to know

  • To have a new HSA through Fidelity, you must enroll in the Cigna HSA medical plan for 2025 and enroll in the HSA. Your 2025 contributions and Gen’s contributions will go to your Fidelity HSA.
  • You have the option to transfer your current HSA balance from MyChoice Accounts to Fidelity or to keep it with MyChoice Accounts.
  • MyChoice Accounts will continue to manage all 2024 FSA reimbursements through March 31, 2025.

What you need to do

  • If you want to transfer your current HSA balance to Fidelity, you must provide your online consent during the Open Enrollment process. Watch for more information regarding the option to transfer your balance.
  • If you want to have a health care FSA, limited-purpose FSA, or dependent care FSA in 2025, you must enroll during Open Enrollment.
  • Use your MyChoice Accounts payment card for expenses through December 31, 2024, or submit 2024 FSA reimbursement claims to MyChoice Accounts by March 31, 2025.
  • Use your Fidelity payment card or submit 2025 FSA reimbursement claims to Fidelity beginning in January.

Now! Access more life insurance

This year, you have a one-time opportunity to make a larger increase in the amount of optional life insurance you have for yourself and for your spouse or domestic partner.

For you: Elect between 1 and 8 times your annual base salary. Evidence of insurability (EOI) is required if your total coverage is greater than 3 times your annual base salary or on-target earnings (OTE) or greater than $500,000. (In most years, you can only increase your coverage by 1 times your salary.)

For your spouse or domestic partner: Elect up to the total amount of basic and optional life insurance you have for yourself, with a $300,000 maximum. EOI is required.

Higher HSA limits

The IRS has increased the total amount you can contribute to your health savings account (HSA) in 2025, which includes Gen’s contribution:

Cigna HSA plan coverage levelGen’s contributionYour contribution limitIRS 2025 total contribution limit
Team member only$500  $3,800$4,300
Team member + spouse or domestic partner$1,000$7,550$8,550
Team member + children$1,000        $7,550$8,550
Team member + family$1,500        $7,050$8,550
Additional allowable contribution if age 55+$0$1,000$1,000

The IRS also raised the required deductible for HSA-eligible plans. Here are the new amounts:

2025 Cigna HSA plan coverage levelDeductible
Team member only$1,650
Team member + spouse or domestic partner$3,300
Team member + children$3,300
Team member + family$4,950

You can use your HSA to pay for eligible health care expenses now, save the money for expenses in the future, or invest the money to grow your savings—all free from federal taxes. Plus, the money in the account is always yours—there’s no use-it-or-lose-it rule!

Don’t miss out

To receive the company HSA contribution, you must enroll in both the Cigna HSA medical plan and the Fidelity HSA.

Higher health care FSA limit

In 2025, you can contribute up to $3,200 to a health care or limited-purpose flexible spending account (FSA). You’ll be able to carry over up to $640 of unused funds from 2025 to 2026—but remember, you’ll lose any unspent amount over $640.

  • Health care FSA: Pay for eligible out-of-pocket expenses—such as office visit copays, prescription copays, and dental or vision expenses—with tax-free dollars.
  • Limited-purpose FSA: If you’re enrolled in the Cigna HSA plan, you cannot have a health care FSA. But you can enroll in a limited-purpose FSA to use for eligible dental and vision expenses and for any medical expenses incurred after you meet your medical deductible.

You can access your full-year FSA contribution amount on January 1.

You must reenroll in the health care or limited-purpose FSA during Open Enrollment if you want to participate in 2025. You can only change your FSA contributions later if you have a qualifying life event.

No change to dependent care FSA

You can contribute up to $5,000 to a dependent care FSA if you’re single or married and filing a joint tax return, and up to $2,500 if you’re married and filing separate tax returns.

Medical and dental contribution updates

Even as the cost of health care increases year after year, Gen continues to pay the majority of those costs for you and your family. And we work hard to manage our health care plans to ensure they stay competitive. 

For 2025, you’ll see slight paycheck contribution increases for medical and dental coverage. Vision contributions are not changing.

New to Gen?

If you’re starting with the company between now and December 31, 2024, you’ll need to enroll in your benefits twice. The first enrollment will cover your benefits for 2024. Open Enrollment will cover your benefits for 2025.

Make sure you enroll in your new hire benefits first, and then complete your separate 2025 Open Enrollment elections.

If you enroll in your 2024 benefits and do not enroll in 2025 benefits:

  • You’ll continue to have the same medical, dental, and vision coverage in 2025 as you elect for 2024, covering the same dependents.
  • You will not be able to contribute to a health care, limited-purpose, or dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) in 2025. To participate, you must reenroll for each year.
  • You will not be enrolled in a Fidelity health savings account (HSA), and you won’t receive the company contribution in January. If you are enrolled in the Cigna HSA plan in 2025, you can enroll in the HSA later.
  • Your 2024 HSA balance, if any, will remain with MyChoice Accounts.
  • You’ll be enrolled in the same long-term disability option as you elect for 2024.
  • Your 2024 voluntary elections will roll over to 2025 for life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness, and legal insurance.

Changes after Open Enrollment

If you experience a qualifying life event (e.g., birth or adoption, marriage or divorce, loss of coverage) during 2025, you can make changes to your benefits within 31 days (60 days for birth, adoption, or loss of coverage) from your effective status change date.

FAQs

I do not plan to change any of my benefit elections for 2025. Do I still need to enroll?

Some of your 2024 benefit elections will roll over to 2025, but some will not (e.g., HSA and FSA elections). It’s a good idea to review your benefits in Benefitsolver to ensure you have the coverage you want for 2025.

What happens if I don’t enroll by November 13, 2024?

If you take no action during Open Enrollment:

  • You’ll continue to have the same medical, dental, and vision coverage in 2025 as you currently have, covering the same dependents.
  • You will not be able to contribute to a health care, limited-purpose, or dependent care flexible spending account (FSA) in 2025. To participate, you must reenroll every year.
  • You will not be enrolled in a Fidelity health savings account (HSA), and you won’t receive the company HSA contribution in January. If you are enrolled in the Cigna HSA plan in 2025, you can enroll in the HSA later.
  • Your HSA balance, if any, will remain with MyChoice Accounts.
  • You’ll be enrolled in the same long-term disability option as you are enrolled in for 2024.
  • Your 2024 voluntary elections will roll over to 2025 for life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness, and legal insurance.

Who is eligible to enroll in benefits?

All U.S. employees scheduled to work at least 20 hours per week and their dependents, including spouse or domestic partner, children up to age 26, and children of any age who are disabled, are eligible.

Can I transfer my MyChoice Accounts health savings account (HSA) balance to Fidelity?

Yes, you can transfer the funds in your MyChoice Accounts HSA to your new Fidelity HSA during Open Enrollment. If you want to transfer your current HSA balance to Fidelity, you must provide your online consent.

When you transfer your funds:

  • Continue to use your MyChoice Accounts HSA debit card until January 23, 2025.
  • Watch for your new Fidelity HSA debit card, activate it, and start using it when your HSA is funded in January.
  • There will be a blackout period from January 24, 2025, until the week of February 10, 2025, during which your MyChoice Accounts HSA balance will not be available.
  • Your MyChoice Accounts HSA balance will be available in your Fidelity HSA by February 14, 2025.

What happens if I don’t transfer my MyChoice Accounts HSA balance to Fidelity?

If you choose to keep your current HSA balance with MyChoice Accounts, you’ll have two HSA debit cards—one for MyChoice Accounts and one for Fidelity.

I’ve invested part of my MyChoice Accounts HSA balance. What happens to those investment holdings?

  • The investment holdings cannot be transferred to Fidelity. If the investment holdings are not fully liquidated, neither the cash nor investment balance can be transferred as part of the bulk transfer.
  • If you consent to the HSA bulk transfer, you must liquidate your investments by January 22, 2025. Otherwise, the plan administrator will liquidate these investments on January 27, 2025, in order to transfer the account balance to Fidelity Investments.
  • If you liquidate your investments at MyChoice Accounts by January 22, 2025, then your entire balance can be transferred to Fidelity as part of the bulk transfer. Also, in California and New Jersey, you will owe state tax on any investment earnings upon liquidation.

Do I need to enroll in flexible spending accounts (FSAs) during Open Enrollment?

You must enroll during Open Enrollment if you want to participate in a Fidelity health care FSA, limited-purpose FSA, or dependent care FSA in 2025.

Who do I file my 2024 and 2025 flexible spending account (FSA) claims with?

For all eligible 2024 expenses:

  • Use your MyChoice Accounts FSA debit card to pay for expenses through December 31, 2024.
  • Submit any 2024 FSA reimbursement claims to MyChoice Accounts by March 31, 2025.

For eligible expenses incurred starting January 1, 2025:

  • Use your new Fidelity debit card to pay for eligible expenses starting on January 1, 2025.
  • Submit any 2025 FSA reimbursement claims to Fidelity by March 31, 2026.

What happens if I am newly hired or experience a life event (e.g., have a baby or get married) between now and December 31, 2024?

If you have just been hired or have had a status change, you must submit your elections for both plan years in a two-step process. The first enrollment will cover your benefits for 2024. Open Enrollment is for your 2025 benefits.

  • You’ll be enrolled in the same long-term disability option as you elect for 2024.
  • Your 2024 voluntary elections will roll over to 2025 for life, accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D), accident, hospital indemnity, critical illness, and legal insurance.

What happens if I am on a leave of absence (LOA) during Open Enrollment?

The Gen benefits team will mail information to your home, outlining what benefit changes you need to make (including medical, dental, vision, HSA, and health care FSA).

You are not eligible to change critical illness insurance, accident insurance, hospital indemnity insurance, dependent care FSA, or life and AD&D insurance while on an LOA. Team members on an approved long-term disability LOA cannot make changes to their long-term disability coverage during Open Enrollment.
