We are announcing the ability to streamline benefits enrollment process in Dynamics 365 Human Resources. This feature will reach public preview on June 30, 2026.
How does this affect me?
This feature introduces major enhancements to benefits management:
- Year-round HSA/401(k) contribution changes: Allows employees to modify the HSA/401(k) contribution throughout the year. Today, these details can be modified only during the benefits enrollment period.
- Automatic basic life insurance enrollment: All employees are automatically enrolled in a basic life insurance plan, with the option to add supplemental life insurance if desired. Currently, the basic life insurance is assigned but also prompts for a beneficiary, which shouldn’t be required for the basic plan. Additionally, if an employee doesn’t manually check out or select the basic life insurance, it should still be automatically marked as their chosen plan.
- Enablement and configuration: Both features are enabled by admins in Feature management for organizations using the updated Benefits module. HR admins can manage settings in the Benefits management configuration area, where they can choose to allow year-round contribution changes and set rules for automatic life insurance enrollment. Admins can disable either feature from Feature management.
This message is for awareness, and no action is required.
