1. From the Contacts page, complete one of the following:
   • To add a contact, select Add.
   • To edit existing contact information, select the link for the contact, and select Edit.
2. Check or uncheck the Contact is Active box, as follows:
   • Check: The contact is active, and if eligible, appears when enrolling in benefit plans via Life Events or Open Enrollment. This is the default setting.
   • Uncheck: The contact is inactive and does not appear as eligible during enrollment sessions. An example of when to inactivate someone is when a divorce occurs.

4. Select the contact's relationship to the employee.
5. Designate the contact as a dependent, beneficiary, or emergency contact. More than one option can be selected.

6. Enter the contact's address, telephone, and e-mail information.
   Note Digits entered in the phone number field are automatically validated and formatted, including country code, hyphens, and spaces, based on the selected country. When digits entered in the field do not match the country’s phone number format, a warning message appears to request a review of the number before saving.
7. If the contact is a dependent or beneficiary, enter additional information such as if the contact is covered by other insurance, disabled, full-time student, or smoker.
8. Select Save.
9. Select Submit. The Contacts page appears with the new information.
   Note Managers can view emergency contacts on the employee record.
