Assuming you are referring to your company health plan, open enrollment is your annual opportunity to change your benefit selections. Passive Open Enrollment means your benefits remain the same, even if you do not make a selection. Active Open Enrollment means you MUST make a benefit selection, even if your selection is "no coverage".
Due to government legislation in the United States, you cannot change your benefit selections outside of the open enrollment period unless you have a "Qualifying Life Event".
