Enroll in a Plan

Depending on the benefit plan and deduction/benefit type, you may select one or more benefit plans. The Current Plan section displays deduction/benefit plans in which you are enrolled for the deduction/benefit type as of the current system date.

The Steps section displays the About Life Events or About Open Enrollment and Confirm Your Changes steps. A Verify Beneficiary and Dependent Information step also appears, if applicable. In cases where only a single plan can be selected for the deduction/benefit type, all plans appear on one Select a Plan page. When multiple plans can be selected for the deduction/benefit type, each plan appears on a separate page. You must select or decline each plan. For example, for the Flexible Spending Account plan type, you may select or decline dependent care or health care.

Evidence of insurability (EOI) may be required for life insurance plans. A message appears stating that evidence of insurability is required for amounts surpassing the amount the company has configured as the guaranteed issue amount for a particular plan. The maximum benefit amount that can be elected appears.

Based on the valid dependent relationships configured by your company for the Open Enrollment plan, only those dependents who match the relationship configured for the plan will appear for enrollment. For example, while you may have "spouse", "child", and "brother" configured as dependents in your contacts, the plan you are enrolling in may only have spouse and child configured as valid dependent relationships for plan enrollment.

If the plan includes benefit options, the options may be displayed in alphabetical order or by employee option cost in ascending order, depending on your company configuration.
