Benefits Enrollment
Enrolling in your benefits is made easy through the myBenefits online enrollment application. Human Resources will authorize your access to myBenefits and notify you by email when it is available for you to indicate your selections. The email includes a notice of the “open date”— the first date you can make your benefit selection and the “close date”— the last date available. Click here for access instructions for myBenefits. Proof of dependent eligibility is required. Selections must be submitted online within 31 days of your hire date (or effective date of a qualified change of status).
When enrolling a dependent for coverage, the appropriate documentation to verify eligibility must be submitted to Human Resources Benefits in order to process your enrollment with the insurance providers.
Don’t miss your enrollment deadline! NOTE: If you do not make your online enrollment elections by the close date, medical benefits will be waived and enrollment in voluntary benefits plans in the future may not be available. Your next opportunity to elect or change medical coverage will be during the annual Open Enrollment period unless you have a qualified change in status.
