5 Steps to Get Your 2026 Benefits

1. Learn What’s New for 2026

Medical and Dental

  • We’re making moderate increases in payroll deductions for the HealthSaver and PPO2 medical plans. Due to its higher level of benefits and utilization, the PPO1 plan will have more significant increases in payroll deductions.
  • There will be moderate payroll deduction increases for the ITW Dental Plan.

Health Accounts


The maximum annual contribution for a Health Savings Account (HSA) — which you can elect if you enroll in the HealthSaver Plan — will increase to $4,400 for individual coverage or $8,750 if you cover one or more family members, as determined by the IRS. If you will be age 55 or older in 2026, you can also make $1,000 in catch-up contributions. The maximum amount you can contribute to a Health Care Flexible Spending Account (FSA), as determined by the IRS, will increase to $3,400.

Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account

The maximum amount you can contribute to a Dependent Care FSA, as determined by the IRS, will increase to $7,500 or $3,750 if you are married and file a separate tax return.

  • IRS nondiscrimination rules may require adjustment of contributions for certain highly compensated employees based on overall plan participation. Nondiscrimination testing will be completed in the first quarter, with adjustments communicated and applied automatically by April 2026.

ITW 401(k) Retirement Plan

There’s another valuable benefit you have as an ITW employee: the 401(k) Retirement Plan. Be sure you’re contributing to the plan. And while you’re at it, take a moment to review your current investments and elect or change your beneficiary.

3. Make Smart Choices with These Tools

ITW offers tools and resources to help you choose the benefits that are best for you and your family.

4. Cover the Right People

Here’s who’s eligible for health and well-being benefits. Decide who you want to cover.

You

If you’re a U.S. full-time, non-union ITW employee of a participating business unit regularly scheduled to work 30 or more hours per week

Your Spouse/Domestic Partner

Your legal spouse or domestic partner (same-sex or opposite-sex)

Your Children

Through the end of the month in which they turn 26, regardless of student status (includes your spouse’s or domestic partner’s children)

 

Note: The value of the coverage provided to your domestic partner (and their children) will be taxable income for you unless your domestic partner (and their children) qualifies as your tax dependent.

5. Know When and How to Enroll

You’ll find all the details you need to make your 2026 benefit elections.

Actions to Take During Open Enrollment

When you enroll, you can:

  • Choose or change your benefits.
  • Sign up for a Health Care FSA if you enroll in the PPO1 or PPO2 medical plans or waive coverage.
  • Contribute to an HSA if you enroll in the HealthSaver medical plan. (You can change your contributions any time.)
  • Sign up for a Dependent Care FSA.
  • Add or drop dependents from coverage.

Do I Have to Enroll During Open Enrollment?

No. You’ll be automatically enrolled in the same benefits you have for 2025 — except for your Health Savings Account (HSA) or any Flexible Spending Accounts (FSAs), which require an annual election.

Remember: You can change your benefit elections only during Open Enrollment or within 31 calendar days of a qualifying life event, such as marriage, birth/adoption, death, loss of other coverage, legal separation, divorce or change in employment status. The date of the event is considered day one of the 31 days, and the last day to make changes is on day 31. If you miss the 31-day deadline, you’ll have to wait until the next qualifying life event or Open Enrollment period.
