It's open-enrollment season. That means your employer will be offering you the opportunity to make choices about the various workplace benefits you receive -- including your health insurance plan, other insurance such as disability or long-term care, and medical and dependent-care flexible spending accounts. It also can be a chance to enroll in your company's 401(k) or adjust the amount you're contributing. As Miranda Marquit writes on the Bargaineering blog, "Even if your company allows you to make changes to your 401(k) at any time, and doesn’t have a set 401(k) open enrollment period, it’s always a good time to make sure you’re saving and investing your retirement dollars as intelligently as possible." For her tips, see 401(k) Open-Enrollment Season at Work? 3 Things You Need to Know.
