2022 Enrollment Guides. HP/HPE Alumni

We have searchable copies of the Annual Enrollment Guides for HP, HPE, and DEC retirees here on the HP Alumni Association website. (Operated by volunteers. Not officially endorsed or supported.)

Many changes. Lots packed into an Enrollment Guide. Go through your Guide very carefully -- and mark it up.

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; Command-F on a Mac.)

Depending on age, years of service, and other factors, you may qualify for the "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" -- as opposed to the current "HP Retiree Medical Program." ("2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not necessarily your year of retirement.) Details: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003

[Aon Retiree Health Exchange is now Alight Retiree Health Solutions, ARHS -- May 2022.]

2022 HP, "Pre-2003" HPE, and DEC retirees:

2022 HPE (Hewlett Packard Enterprise) retirees:

Some HPE retirees are covered by an HP retiree medical program. Depending on age, years of service, and other factors, you may qualify for the HP "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program" -- instead of an HPE program. ("2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not necessarily your year of retirement.) Legally retirees of HPE. However, HPE has paid HPInc to administer health benefits for those HPE retirees. (All other responsibilities for HPE retirees are handled by HPE.)
