"You must make corrections by December 15, 2023, at 6 p.m. Pacific Time (8 p.m. Central Time). After that date, you won’t be able to make changes for 2024 unless you experience a qualified status change and call the HP Inc Benefits Center within 60 days."

If you decline HP/HPE medical coverage: Depending on your situation, you can lose the ability to re-enroll in HP/HPE coverage -- and your surviving dependents will not be eligible for HP/HPE coverage. Refer to your Enrollment Guide -- especially the last pages: https://www.hpalumni.org/EnrollmentGuides.htm

There are two HP Retiree Medical programs:

- "HP Retiree Medical Program." (For most recent retirees.)

- "Pre-2003 HP Retiree Medical Program or Former Digital Program."  (For earlier retirees. "2003" refers to the year when HP implemented the program, not necessarily your year of retirement. Details: https://www.hpalumni.org/Pre2003 )

1. Annual Enrollment Coverage Statement.
The personalized cover letter mailed with the printed Enrollment Guide. 
Not available on myhpbenefits.com due to outsourcer system limitations.
