For 2022: Old HP and HPE Enrollment Guides (May 25, 2022)
Current Enrollment Guides are at: https://www.hpalumni.org/EnrollmentGuides
We have searchable copies of the Annual Enrollment Guides for HP, HPE, and DEC retirees here on the HP/HPE Alumni Association website. (Operated by volunteers. Not officially endorsed or supported.)
Many changes. Lots packed into an Enrollment Guide -- especially in the last pages. Go through your Enrollment Guide very carefully -- and mark it up. The last pages cover important limitations.
Even if you have a paper copy, download the current file and use Adobe Reader's search feature to find specific words or phrases (Ctrl-F, F3, or Command-F.)

Depending on your age and history with HP and predecessors, you may qualify for either the former, current, or DEC retiree medical plan. (For the more-generous former plan -- confusingly named "Pre-2003" -- you must have been born on or before June 30, 1957 -- unless your were in certain EER cycles or otherwise notified.) See detailed rules in the Summary Plan Description: https://www.hpalumni.org/HPIncHealthSPD.pdf If rules were misapplied or HP's records were in error, members have successfully appealed -- see page 40 of the SPD for the contact at Corporate.
[Aon Retiree Health Exchange is now Alight Retiree Health Solutions -- May 2022.]

Some HPE retirees are covered by an HP retiree medical program.

See detailed rules in the Summary Plan Description: https://www.hpalumni.org/HPIncHealthSPD.pdf If rules were misapplied or HP's records were in error, members have successfully appealed -- see page 40 of the SPD for the contact at Corporate. Contact the HP Inc Benefits Center. Agents at the HPE Benefits Center may not know about this. Details and how to appeal: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003
