open enrollment for U.S.-payroll employees

enrollment ends friday!

Open enrollment for 2023 Chevron benefits ends Friday, October 28, 2022.

Open enrollment for 2023 benefits is October 17 through October 28, 2022.

Open enrollment is your annual opportunity to review your benefit options for the coming year. During open enrollment, you can decide to keep the coverage you currently have or make changes, such as switching to another medical plan option, adding a dependent to your coverage, or start participating in other optional benefit plans. If you miss the open enrollment deadline, you generally can’t make any changes until the next open enrollment period in the fall of 2023 for 2024 benefits. However, you can make changes to certain benefits outside of the open enrollment period within the 31-day deadline after a qualifying life event, such as a marriage or birth. Any changes you make to your benefits coverage during open enrollment become effective January 1, 2023.

increase to 2023 monthly premium cost


Medical PPO & HDHP

The monthly cost of coverage for the Medical PPO and HDHP will increase in 2023. You can preview your new cost for coverage here. Our premium cost is determined, in part, by health claim expenses incurred by the plans in the previous year. Over the last four years, these plans maintained consistent employee rates, with periodically reduced rates, including a premium holiday. However, health claims increased last year largely due to participants receiving care that was deferred during the pandemic, but also as a result of overall rising national health care costs and general inflation. The Medical PPO and HDHP must increase monthly premiums in 2023 to help absorb some of this increase to overall costs.


Medical HMO Plans

The monthly premium cost for most Medical HMO Plans will also change in 2023. You can preview your new cost for coverage here. 


Long-Term Disability & Dependent Life Insurance

The monthly premium cost for Optional Long-Term Disability coverage and the Dependent Life Insurance Plan will increase slightly in 2023. You can view your personalized cost for coverage on the BenefitConnect website during the upcoming open enrollment period.

prepare for dependent verification



If you enroll in Chevron health plans, you may also enroll your eligible dependents for coverage under the same medical, dental, vision and certain other health benefit plans. Eligible dependents include your spouse or domestic partner and eligible children.


In addition, all employees are required to verify the eligibility of any new dependents you enroll in Chevron health plans. When you enroll your dependent(s) in Chevron health coverage for the first time, you will have up to 60 days to obtain and submit requested documentation that verifies your dependents are eligible to participate in Chevron’s health benefits. If you don’t provide acceptable documentation by the deadline, your dependents will be disenrolled from coverage. This is a one-time process per dependent and applies to all health plans that require dependent verification.


You can prepare in advance of enrollment and preview the documents you’ll need to provide here. Please do not complete and return the sample forms posted here as they are for your reference only. Personalized forms and instructions will be provided to you when you enroll on the BenefitConnect website.

As a reminder, this limit applies to the total of all employer contributions, your payroll contributions, and contributions you make separately to all HSA accounts you own. You are solely responsible for ensuring your total contributions do not exceed the IRS limit.

2023 dental surcharge reminder

As a reminder, if you are enrolled in the Chevron Dental PPO or Dental HMO Plan in 2022, you must receive at least one preventive dental cleaning between January 1 and December 31, 2022. Only you, the employee, are required to receive this cleaning for purposes of the dental surcharge. If you do not participate in this preventive care measure in 2022, you will pay $120 more for your annual Dental PPO or Dental HMO Plan premium in 2023 (if enrolled). Learn about the 2023 dental surcharge.

Legacy REG: As a reminder, you are not required to get a preventive dental cleaning in 2022 and the dental surcharge will not be applied to your premiums in 2023. However you will be required to receive a cleaning in 2023 to avoid the dental surcharge in 2024. 


vision plus program

The Vision Plus program is a voluntary coverage option that provides prescription eyewear coverage at an additional payroll deduction. Your Chevron medical plan already provides some level of basic vision coverage. Vision Plus is additional coverage for prescription eyewear that goes beyond your basic vision coverage. Any U.S.-payroll employee eligible for Chevron's health plans can enroll, and you can enroll even if you waive Chevron health coverage.

Important reminder for Medical HMO Plan participants

If you are enrolled in a Chevron Medical HMO Plan, your plan also includes behavioral health coverage, available through your HMO. You have the choice to use your HMO coverage or the MHSUD coverage, but not both for same service. In addition, out-of-network providers not covered whether through MHSUD or HMO Plan. Contact your Medical HMO directly for information about behavioral health coverage through your HMO and changes for 2023, if any.



As a reminder, you must re-enroll in flexible spending account coverage every year to continue your participation. Enroll October 17 through October 28, 2022 to participate in 2023.


health care spending account (HCSA)

You cannot participate in the HCSA if you are enrolled in the HDHP or HDHP Basic for 2023. As a reminder, the money in your 2022 Chevron HCSA can be used for eligible expenses incurred no later December 31, 2022. This December 31 deadline also applies to any 2021 special one-time carryover amounts into your 2022 account. There is no carryover of 2022 HCSA into 2023. 


Plan changes

  • 2023 Annual Contribution Limit
  • There is no carryover of 2022 HCSA into 2023. 
  • You cannot contribute more than the IRS annual limit each year. However, employers, like Chevron, are permitted to set an annual limit for their plans that may be less than the IRS annual limit. The IRS recently announced that employers may choose to increase their health flexible spending account limit for 2023, at their discretion. Due to the timing of Chevron’s open enrollment and the timing of the IRS decision, Chevron is unable to change the HCSA maximum contribution limit for the 2023 plan year to align with the new IRS limits.
