open enrollment

for pre- and post-65 retirees, survivors, and their eligible dependents

If you need to make a change to your 2026 health coverage, take action during the open enrollment period. Any changes you make to your benefit coverage during open enrollment become effective January 1, 2026. You can also make changes to certain benefits outside of the open enrollment period within the 31-day deadline after a qualifying life event

plan updates and numbers

Pre-65 enrollment
Open enrollment for 2026 pre-65 retiree health benefits is October 20 - October 31, 2025, on the BenefitConnect website.

Post-65 enrollment
Open enrollment for 2026 post-65 retiree health benefits is October 15 - December 7, 2025, on the Via Benefits website.

If you’re happy with your post-65 plans, no action is needed; plans renew automatically.

  • If you want to make changes to your post-65 coverage, contact Via Benefits at 1-844-266-1392 or access the Via Benefits website.
  • Do not contact your medical plan carrier directly to enroll or make changes. If you enroll in a Medicare health plan directly with your medical plan carrier, your Retiree HRA Plan will be canceled. If your Retiree HRA Plan is canceled, you must generally wait until the next available retiree enrollment milestone, if any, to re-enroll.

enrollment worksheet

Pre-65 participants will receive a 2026 enrollment worksheet in the mail from the Chevron HR Service Center just prior to open enrollment. Your worksheet includes personalized information about the pre-65 group health choices available and your cost for coverage. 
Premiums will generally change in 2026.
Expand each topic below to learn more about what to expect for the coming year.

pre-65 company contribution increase

As you know, you and Chevron share the cost of your retiree health coverage. Chevron’s contribution to your coverage typically doesn’t change from year-to-year. However, for 2026, Chevron will increase the company’s contribution by 4 percent to all pre-65 medical plans.  Keep in mind that while the company contribution will increase, your monthly cost may still increase, depending on your plan choice. Your 2026 pre-65 enrollment worksheet from the Chevron HR Service Center will include your new company contribution amount. You’ll also see the new amount on BenefitConnect when you enroll starting October 20.

 

pre-65 medical and dental premiums

The monthly premium cost for many Chevron pre-65 medical plans will increase in 2026. Medical premium costs are partly determined by health claim expenses incurred by the plans in the previous year, but also due to other factors such as overall rising national health care costs and general inflation.

 

retiree HRA plan

  • Chevron’s company contribution to the Retiree HRA for post-65 participants in 2026 will remain the same amount as for 2025.

post-65 medical, prescription drug, dental and vision coverage

  • For 2026 premium information, contact Via Benefits at 1-844-266-1392 or access the Via Benefits website.

behavioral health coverage

Starting January 1, 2026, behavioral health coverage will be provided solely through your pre-65 Chevron medical plan (Anthem or Kaiser). The MHSUD Plan with Carelon will be discontinued to streamline and simplify your access to behavioral health services.
