Are open enrollment periods for health benefits mandated by law?

I'm in California.

My employer just changed my health plan to something significantly worse and gave me four hours notice to take it or leave it.

Basically, I got the new schedule of benefits by 9 am and was told that they needed an answer by 1 pm.

Is there any legal recourse I have about this?

every person who doesn't like an acquired taste always seems to think everyone who likes it is faking it. it should be an official fallacy.

    Call the California Department of Labor. They should be able to answer your question.

    Generally your benefits specialist can accept enrollment applications within 30 days of the start date of the policy. In effect you would be retroactively effective.

    Still, this is a very odd situation. 4 hours notice isn't typically the way these roll outs work.

    Yeah, that's the obvious answer isn't it? Silly me.
