If you’re new to UCRAYS, you’ll need to register for your account. You’ll be asked a few security questions to confirm your identity.

• Beginning October 31, sign in to UCRAYS with your username and password. 
• Select “Open Enrollment” on the UCRAYS main menu to get started. 
• The Open Enrollment page lists your current enrollments and your monthly costs for the coming year if you make no changes during Open Enrollment. 

You’ll see options to add or remove a family member and to change or suspend plans. Please note: for vision plan enrollment and changes, visit VSP at ucretirees.vspforme.com or call 866-240-8344.

• Make updates to your covered family members before you begin making changes to your plan enrollments. Just follow the prompts to provide the required information, including checking the boxes to indicate which types of coverage you’d like to select for your family member. 
• When you’ve finished adding family members or selected “Make changes/suspend plans,” you’ll see an overview of all covered family members along with dropdowns to select plan coverage for each individual. 
• Starting with yourself, choose your desired plans from the dropdowns. After you select your own plans, the dropdowns for your eligible family members will display the plans available to them.  
• You must click “Calculate Total Cost” to review the total cost to cover you and your eligible family members. 

• Click “Next” to continue, then review and acknowledge the Participation Terms and Conditions and Important Notices.  
• You have one more opportunity to review your Open Enrollment elections. Then check the box to indicate your acceptance of the authorization statement, and click “Confirm” to finalize your elections. Your confirmation number verifies that your elections have been recorded. 
• You may return to the Open Enrollment application to make additional changes until Open Enrollment ends at 5 p.m. on Friday, November 22. 

After confirming your Open Enrollment elections, you will receive a confirmation statement that summarizes your choices. You may also return to the Open Enrollment application, which will now display your confirmed elections for the coming year.

To ensure UC’s benefits resources are used wisely, anyone who enrolls new family members in their health and welfare benefit plans must provide documents to verify their family members’ eligibility for coverage. In 2025, UC will also reach out to confirm the continuing eligibility of some previously verified family members. 

UnifyHR administers the verification and reverification program for UC. You must respond by the deadline shown on the letter sent by UnifyHR to protect your family members’ coverage.
