What’s new for you in 2026?

Open Enrollment is now closed. Below is a quick look at what’s new and changing in 2026.

Health Savings Accounts (HSAs) moving to Fidelity

Fidelity replaces HSA Bank as our new HSA Administrator.

During Open Enrollment you needed to accept Fidelity’s terms to have an HSA account opened through.

You’ll also have the opportunity to participate in the bulk transfer from HSA Bank to Fidelity.

If you didn’t act during Open Enrollment, your balance will remain with HSA Bank, and you’ll need to open a Fidelity account later to receive new contributions.

Once you open your Fidelity HSA account, you’ll:

  • Enjoy one simple account.
  • Receive a new card: Be on the lookout for your new card mailed in December.
  • Have more ways to invest: There are over 10,000 investment options plus helpful financial tools.
  • Receive FREE money through Hitachi’s contribution. No contribution is required on your part.

HSA contribution limits increasing

Keep in mind the new HSA limits for 2026:

  • Employee-only coverage: $4,400 (up from $4,300 in 2025).
  • Family coverage: $8,750 (up from $8,550 in 2025).
  • Catch-up contribution (age 55 and older): An additional $1,000, which remains unchanged.

Life, Long-Term Disability and voluntary benefits with Prudential

In 2026, you can count on:

  • Bigger protection: Basic Life and AD&D coverage now up to $1.5 million each.
  • Simpler process: Easier evidence of insurability (EOI), real-time updates, and access to one-on-one support.

Open Enrollment or new hire enrollment is the only time you can enroll or increase your coverage amounts.
