The most common question we hear this time of year is, "If I want to keep everything the same, do I have to do anything?" The short answer is: YES!
Did you know that our Walton Cares (comprehensive benefits offering) adds tremendous value to your total compensation? For WCSD every employee, it adds close to 50% or more to your pay. So, here are some key considerations everyone needs to make during Open Enrollment each year - along with the resources we've created to assist you in making a decision. You can also watch a video about the decisions HERE.

HOW CAN I HELP YOU TODAY?
State Health rates are rising about 12% for 2026. For the Anthem HMO, that’s roughly $20/month for single, $50 for ee+spouse, and $67 for family coverage. Thinking about switching to a lower-cost plan? We’ll help you compare options, check wellness credits, and eliminate the tobacco surcharge—so you can keep costs as low as possible.
FSA’s are a tool to get Uncle Sam to help you bear some of the cost of health care, including your out-of-pocket expenses for dental, vision and dependent day care for both children and elders. The limits are much higher for 2026 -- $3,100 for a health FSA and $7,500 dependent care FSA (a 50% improvement!). Check it out to learn more.
Did you know our Short-Term Disability plan costs less as your Sick Leave balance grows? Earned more days this past year? See how much you could save by adjusting your plan. Plus, we continue your pay for six weeks after a baby—disability covers all types of disability, but its not needed for a typical delivery. Learn more below.
Even if you’ve tried our official service provider before, much has changed on the student loan front. Now is a good time to take a fresh look. Get a free loan review with GotZoom! If you have a Federal loan, visit www.gzenroll.com/walton or call 1-833-468-9666. They may help you discover a pleasant surprise and it’s free to find out.
All PSERS-eligible employees receive a dollar-for-dollar match up to 4% in the Walton Retirement Savings Plan! To get started, choose your plan bucket, set your beneficiaries, and get guidance by attending an open enrollment meeting or scheduling with a local advisor. Visit the WCSD Benefits website to access their calendars.
Earlier this year, Delta Dental presented a significant rate increase because we used the plans heavily and 60% of claims went through non-network dentists. So we competitively bid our plan to a dozen carriers - none offered a better deal than Delta. This left 3 options: accept the rate change, reduce benefits, or take full advantage of the network dentists' discount. Check out the new Network Premium Plan and the updated Mid and Standard Plan rates to decide which plan is best for you and your family.
