			Action to take during Open Enrollment
Medical, dental, and vision coverage
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Choose the medical plan that best fits your life.
New for 2026, you have two Delta Dental plan options to choose from depending on your needs and budget.
You can also choose between two options for vision coverage: VSP Vision Basic and VSP Vision Plus.
Get complete dental and vision coverage details, and see your contributions.
Health Savings Account (HSA)
Your Subtitle Goes Here
If you contributed to the HealthEquity HSA in 2025, your per-pay-period election will roll over to 2026. Note that, because there will be an extra pay period in 2026, Adobe will automatically reduce your per-pay-period election if the total would exceed the IRS annual contribution limit.
If you want to increase your contribution amount to meet the new IRS limit or make a lump-sum contribution on specific payroll dates, you will need to enter those elections in the Adobe benefits enrollment site.
In 2026, the maximum amount you can contribute to your HSA is increasing to $4,400 for individuals and $8,750 for families, per IRS guidelines. The catch-up contribution limit if you’re 55 or older remains $1,000.
Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs)
Your Subtitle Goes Here
If you participate in the Health Care FSA or Dependent Care FSA in 2025, your elections will roll over for 2026. However, it’s important to review your contributions to make sure they are in line with your current needs and to be aware of increases to contribution limits for 2026.
The maximum Health Care FSA contribution for 2026 is $3,400. The maximum Dependent Care FSA contribution for 2026 is increasing significantly—from $5,000 in 2025 to $7,500 in 2026.
Schedule a consultation with an MSA money coach for guidance on whether the Dependent Care FSA or the child care tax credit better suits your family’s needs.
Life and accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) insurance
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Your current supplemental life and AD&D insurance elections will automatically carry over for 2026. However, Open Enrollment is a good time to review your coverage and make any changes based on your current needs, especially since supplemental life and supplemental AD&D rates are decreasing for 2026.
During Open Enrollment, you can increase your supplemental life coverage by up to $150,000 with no evidence of insurability (EOI)—or more, with EOI—and add to your accidental death and dismemberment (AD&D) coverage. You can also increase or decrease supplemental life insurance for your spouse or domestic partner and dependent children.
Voluntary supplemental insurance plans
Your Subtitle Goes Here
The new supplemental, employee-paid plans through MetLife are designed to provide additional financial protection if you and your family experience a covered health event. You can choose to enroll in one, two, or all three of the plans: critical illness, accident, or hospital insurance.
Learn more about this voluntary supplemental insurance. View plan rates on the benefits enrollment site.
Short-term disability
Your Subtitle Goes Here
If you work outside of California, you can choose between two options for short-term disability coverage for 2026:
- The STD Plus plan (your current coverage) provides 100% of your salary for weeks 2–10 of disability and requires an employee contribution every pay period.
 - The new STD Basic plan provides 80% of your salary for weeks 2–10 of disability, and there is no cost to you.
 
Both plans cover 66.67% of your salary from week 11 to day 120, with a weekly benefit cap of $3,500.
If you don’t choose the STD Basic plan during Open Enrollment, you’ll be enrolled in the STD Plus plan for 2026 and will have contributions deducted from your paycheck. If you work in California, you’ll continue to be covered by the California VDI plan.
Long-term care insurance
Your Subtitle Goes Here
You can enroll in voluntary long-term care (LTC) insurance directly through Trustmark, with no medical questions asked. Visit the LTC enrollment site to get more information and to enroll.
Legal assistance
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Some life changes, like purchasing a home, caring for aging parents, and—new for 2026, becoming a landlord—are easier with legal counsel. Our MetLife plans can cover you, your spouse, and your dependents, and you have the option to add your parents.
When you sign up for the MetLife legal plan, you’ll have access to an online portal of attorneys for covered services, digital estate planning, and four hours of legal advice for uncovered matters.
Keep in mind that you must already have legal insurance prior to the occurrence of a major life event for it to be covered.
Your 2025 election will automatically roll over to 2026. During Open Enrollment, you can add or change coverage for yourself or your parents.
Deferred compensation plan (for director level and above)
Your Subtitle Goes Here
The deferred compensation plan (DCP) allows participants to put eligible compensation into a tax-deferred savings plan.
If your position is director level or above, and you would like to enroll, visit Nolan (or SSO) during the enrollment period, which is November 6–21.
Even if you’re already enrolled in the DCP, you need to reenroll; elections do not automatically roll over from year to year. While you’re on the site, review and update your beneficiaries.
For a quick DCP overview, watch this short video.
Review your beneficiaries
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Don’t forget to update your beneficiaries if you’ve had any life changes, such as marriage, divorce, birth, or adoption. You can do this at any time, but Open Enrollment is a convenient time to check whether any changes are needed.
Visit these sites to update your beneficiaries:
- Life and AD&D insurance: Adobe benefits enrollment site
 - HSA: HealthEquity HSA (or SSO)
 - 401(k): Vanguard (or SSO)
 - DCP: Nolan (or SSO)
 - ESPP: E*TRADE from Morgan Stanley

Deductions from 27 pay periods in 2026
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Based on how pay dates fall during the next calendar year, U.S. employees will have 27 pay periods in 2026. This means that your benefit premiums will be split over 27 pay periods, instead of the usual 26.

Your Subtitle Goes Here
Due to new IRS rules, if you will be age 50 or older in 2026 and you’ve earned more than $145,000 in FICA wages from Adobe in 2025, any catch-up contributions you make in 2026 must be Roth after-tax contributions, not pretax. You must take action when notified about the requirement next year to ensure your catch-up contributions are made to the correct type of account.
Update: One Medical
Your Subtitle Goes Here
Effective January 1, 2026, Adobe will no longer pay the annual One Medical membership fee. You can still access One Medical providers through Aetna plans or by paying for your own membership. Teladoc primary care is available to Aetna members for virtual health services, including preventive care, chronic condition management, and same-day appointments.
New administrator for reimbursements
