Enrolling in Benefits
You can enroll in benefits as a new hire or during the annual Open Enrollment period. New hire coverage begins first day of the month following date of hire, as long as you enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible. If you miss the enrollment deadline, you will need to wait until the next annual Open Enrollment.
After Open Enrollment, you cannot make changes to your benefits during the year unless you have a Qualified Life Event, and you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period to make changes.
