You have 30 calendar days from the date you were hired, or the date you became eligible for benefits, to enroll in benefits. You will enroll online through the Benefit Enrollment System.
In general, benefits are effective the first day of the month from your hire date, or the date you became eligible for benefits.

For all newly benefit eligible employees, coverage will default where the employee is enrolled in Basic Life and Basic AD&D Insurance only. If you wish to elect coverage and add your eligible dependents, you must take action and submit benefit elections within 30 calendar days of your hire date or date of benefit eligibility.
To complete your enrollment, register in the Benefit Enrollment System. Once registered, click the ‘Start Here’ button and follow the instructions to enroll.
