Q.- Do we have to hold an open enrollment each year?

A.- Maybe. If you have a cafeteria plan and your employees pay for benefits with pre-tax dollars, you must give them the opportunity to change elections every 12 months. If you are a large employer subject to the Affordable Care Act requirements, you must provide your employees an effective opportunity to enroll in coverage at least once per plan year.
