When You Can Enroll
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENT
NEW HIRES/ NEWLY ELIGIBLE FOR BENEFITS
When you are first hired or become eligible for benefits (your benefits are effective on the 1 st of the month following 30 days after your full time hire date), you have 30 days to enroll for benefits. Your benefits effective date will be communicated to you at that time. If you do not enroll within your enrollment time period, you will not be eligible for benefits until the next Open Enrollment, unless you have a Qualifying Life Event.
During the year you may be able to make changes to your current benefit elections based on a qualifying life event (ie: Marriage, Divorce, Birth of Baby, Loss of coverage, etc). You will only have 30 days of such event to add, change, or drop coverage. Contact a member of the Human Resources department for a complete explanation of qualifying life event changes.
OPEN ENROLLMENT
During Open Enrollment, you will have the opportunity to enroll or make changes to your benefit elections. You must enroll by the Open Enrollment deadline for your benefits to be effective January 1 st . Except for a Qualifying Life Event, you will not be able to change your elections until the next year’s Open Enrollment.
