2027 Benefit Open Enrollment
It’s time to review and make any needed changes for the upcoming year. Hourly Plan members can change their plan tier, and all members can add new dependents or un-enroll existing dependents between October 19, 2026 through November 20, 2026.
What you need to do
This is your annual opportunity to assess your current Plan Level and make any necessary changes to make sure your selection meets your needs. Whether you’re considering changing your Plan or enrolling or dis-enrolling dependents, this is the time to make those adjustments.
Review Your Current Benefits: Take some time to go through your existing benefits. Assess whether they still meet your needs or if there are changes you’d like to make.
Make Your Selections: Select the Open Enrollment button below to submit your Enrollment Form online. If you do not submit an Open Enrollment form with changes by November 20, 2026, your current selections will carry over into the new year.
Note: If you are adding a spouse or dependent children you will need to provide required supporting documentation (including a marriage certificate for a Spouse; a Declaration of Domestic Partnership form for a Domestic Partner; and birth certificates for Dependent children).
Ask Questions: If you have any questions or need assistance, feel free to contact the Trust office at (907) 751-9700 or toll free at (800) 478-4450.
What’s new in 2027
Dental Care Benefit Changes - Effective January 1, 2027
Changes include a new preferred provider network, as well as increases to the maximum benefit payable for Orthodontia benefits for Dependents, and the percentage payable for Class I services.
New Provider Network
The Trust has entered into a contract with a preferred provider network, Moda – Delta Dental, to provide dental care to Participants at preferred rates. Active Participants and their Dependents may go to any licensed dentist. However, Participants will save money when they access care from a dentist in the Delta Dental PPO or Premier Network.
Orthodontia Maximum Benefit Payable Increase
The lifetime maximum benefit payable for orthodontia benefits will increase to $2,000 per Dependent child (available only through age 18 (under the age of 19))
Class I Services Covered at 100%
Class I diagnostic and preventable services are now covered at 100%.
More information about these changes will be sent out via mail and be available on the Trust website later this year.
