Take Note: 2025 Annual Benefits Enrollment

Most of your current benefit elections will carry forward to 2025. You do not need to actively enroll this year, unless you want to:

  • Enroll for the first time
  • Make changes to your current benefit plans and/or dependents
  • Elect a Health Savings Account (HSA) or Flexible Spending Account (FSA) contribution amount for 2025

If you do not take action during Annual Benefits Enrollment, your next opportunity to change your benefits will be next year’s annual enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying life event, such as getting married or having a baby.

Note: If you are currently enrolled in a local HMO plan, you will be contacted if there are changes to your medical benefits for 2025.

Benefits Changes for 2025

2025 Benefit Plan Rates

Due to rising healthcare costs, in 2025 dental rates will increase by 13% and medical rates will increase by 19%, depending on the medical plan you enroll in. Vision rates are decreasing by 5%. The 2025 rates for all benefits will be available in the Total Rewards Café by October 28.

2025 Rate Structure

Beginning January 1, the medical plan rate structure is changing. We are replacing our tiers with well-defined ranges to accurately capture the earnings of our population. The new 2025 rate structure will be based on your yearly salary, as follows:

  • Under $75,000
  • $75,000 to $150,000
  • Over $150,000

Some locations have different rate structures. Union rates and rate structures are subject to your collective bargaining agreement. The 2025 rates for all benefits will be available in the Total Rewards Café by October 28.

Summaries of Benefits and Coverage (SBCs)

You can find the SBCs and other legal notices here, including the Accident, Critical Illness, and Hospital Indemnity Plan Summaries.

Savings and Spending Account 2025 Limits

These are the limits for 2025:

  • The Health Savings Account (HSA) 2025 limits will be $4,300 for individual coverage and $8,550 for family coverage. Catch-up contributions of $1,000 are allowed if you are at least 55 years of age (includes those who will turn age 55 by the calendar year end).
  • In 2025, you can save from $100 up to the 2025 IRS limit in the Health Care FSA. You will only be able to carry over a maximum of the IRS carry over to your Health Care FSA from 2024 to 2025 for use in 2025.
  • In 2025, you can save from $100 up to the 2025 IRS limit in the Limited Purpose FSA.
  • The 2025 Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) limit is $5,000 unless you and your spouse or domestic partner file separate tax returns, in which case, the most you can save is $2,500.

ID Cards

If you enroll in a Sysco-sponsored national medical plan for the first time or change plans for 2025, you will receive a medical ID card from Aetna in early January sent to the home address you have on file. You will not get a new medical plan ID card if you do not change plans for 2025.

If Both You and Your Spouse or Domestic Partner Work at Sysco

If you and your spouse or domestic partner are both eligible to enroll in the Sysco Health and Welfare plans, you can select one of the below enrollment options:

  1. You may each enroll independently/separately in Sysco benefits
    OR
  2. You may cover your spouse as an eligible dependent under your plan (or vice versa)

Please note—you cannot elect both option 1 and 2. No Sysco colleague can be covered as both a dependent and a colleague under the plan.

In addition, your child(ren) cannot be covered as a dependent by both you and your spouse or domestic partner. Only one of you can cover your eligible child(ren).
