Enrollment Details
5 Steps to Get Your 2025 Benefits
1. Learn What’s New for 2025
Medical and Dental
- We’re making moderate increases in payroll deductions for the HealthSaver and PPO2 medical plans. Due to its higher level of coverage and utilization, the PPO1 plan will have the more significant payroll deduction increases.
- There will be moderate payroll deductions increases for the ITW Dental Plan.
Health Accounts

The maximum amount you can contribute to a Health Savings Account (HSA), as determined by the IRS, will increase to $4,300 for individual coverage and $8,550 if you cover one or more family members. If you will be age 55 or older in 2025, 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, is expected to increase to $3,300.
Digital Exercise Therapy
Move and feel better with Hinge Health, a personalized digital therapy program tailored to your needs. Hinge Health can help you and your family members reduce back or joint pain, overcome limited mobility or recover from a recent or past injury — all from the comfort of your home.
2. Understand What’s Available
Your 2025 Benefits Lineup
Here are the benefits you may select when you enroll and the ones you automatically receive from ITW at no cost to you:
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.

- Use the CVS Caremark CoPay Calculator to learn the cost of prescription drugs and find generic alternatives.
- Use the MetLife Insurance Calculator to help determine how much coverage you need to protect your loved ones.
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 hours or more 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.

Do I Have to Enroll During Open Enrollment?
No. You’ll be automatically enrolled in the same benefits you have for 2024 — 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.
