Once logged in, select Benefits, then select Open Enrollment
The Open Enrollment screen shows current and new elections for each benefit. For each
benefit you have the option of declining or making a new election. Health, dental and vision
also include a “no changes” option for those wishing to maintain their current health, dental
and vision elections. To make a new election choose “select” and you will be provided with
all available options. Note that there are both pre-tax and post-tax options for health, dental
and vision coverage.
If you elect health, dental or vision for the first time or change the level of coverage (e.g.
change from single to family), you will need to complete an enrollment form and submit it to
Human Resources. Hard copy enrollment forms can also be requested from Human Re-
sources.
If electing health care and/or dependent care reimbursement, please be reminded that there
are 26 pay periods in 2024.
NOTE:
Your election has been successfully submitted when you receive the following confirmation
message.
Review your elections carefully, then click “submit”. Your election is not complete until you
complete this step. You will still be able to make changes and re-submit through November
30th.
