Open Enrollment is here!
At Fresh Mark, we believe that you, our employees, are our most important asset. Helping you and your families achieve and maintain good health—physical, emotional and financial—is the reason Fresh Mark offers you this benefits program.
Open Enrollment is your annual opportunity to enroll in benefits if previously waived, add or drop eligible dependents from coverage, elect a Flexible Spending or Dependent Care Account, or waive coverage. We are providing you with access to this microsite, so all your benefits information is right at your fingertips and easily accessible. You will find an overview of each benefit under the Benefits tab. This information will help you understand the benefits that are available to you and how to best use them. Please review it carefully and make sure to ask any important questions that you would like to have addressed.
For more detailed information, please refer to your plan benefit booklets or summary plan descriptions (SPDs). The plan benefit booklets determine how all benefits are paid.

Voluntary Opt-Out Provision
Fresh Mark provides employees eligible for medical coverage with the ability to opt-out of (or waive) medical coverage for the 2025 Plan Year (January 1, 2025 – December 31, 2025) as long as they have coverage under another employer sponsored medical plan.*
Currently you will have the option to elect medical benefits or opt out of the medical plan, provided you have other group coverage. When making your annual elections on the UKG Portal, please select either the medical plan or the opt out plan. Selecting both options may delay your proper election for 2025.
You will need to select how you would like to receive these funds. Selecting the Cash Out Option will provide benefits on a prorated basis via a monthly payment of $58.33. You can receive the full amount by placing those dollars into the Opt Out Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Opt Out Dependent Care Account (DCA). If you decide to set aside your own pre-tax dollars into the FSA or DCA, you will want to be sure to select the separate enrollment fields titled 2025 Flexible Spending Account or 2025 Dependent Care Account.
If you elect to receive your Opt-Out Payment in cash, it will be taxable when paid. If you elect to allocate your Opt-Out Payment to your Health Care Flexible Spending Account, you may still contribute, from pre-tax wages, up to the federal limit of $3,200. However, if you elect to allocate your Opt-Out Payment to your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, the amount allocated from your Opt-Out Payment must be included when determining the amount, you can contribute from pre-tax wages.
All amounts contributed to your Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account, both from pre-tax wages and any employer contributions, including allocation of your Opt-Out Payment, must not exceed $5,000 ($2,500 if you are married and file your federal taxes as “married filing separately”).
If you are electing to opt out of benefits, you must complete the 2025 opt out form and upload the completed document to this portal. You can access the form via this link, then refer to the upload section of the portal for instructions on how to upload your form.
*Note that the other coverage must provide minimum essential coverage. In addition, coverage obtained in the individual market does not qualify as “other coverage” for this purpose. If you opt out of vision coverage, this waiver credit will not apply and is only applicable for waiver of medical benefits.
