Enrolling in Benefits
Benefits coverage for full time employees begins on the date of hire, and you have 30 days to elect your benefits or make changes after a Qualified Life Event. New employees who don’t make an election within 30 days of becoming eligible will automatically be enrolled in theĀ High Deductible Health Plan (HDHP).
Making Changes After 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, unless you experience another Qualified Life Event. Notify Human Resources within 30 days if you have a qualifying life event and need to add your dependents outside of open enrollment.
Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage or divorce
- Welcoming a new child
- Loss of other healthcare coverage
- Leave of absence
- Loss or change in employment
