Benefits Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is the one time each year you can enroll or make changes in your health care benefits. Otherwise, changes may only be made if a qualifying family status change has occurred. The annual enrollment period is held each year in the Spring. Any enrollment changes made during the enrollment period are effective July 1st.
An individual email is sent to all benefits eligible faculty and staff with more information and further instructions once the Open Enrollment period begins. During Open Enrollment you can make changes to your Medical, Dental and Life coverages and re-enroll/enroll in a Flexible Spending Account for the next plan year.
Dependent Documentation Required
Those who add a dependent during open enrollment must submit proper documentation (Marriage Certificate, Birth Certificate, etc.). Visit /hr/benefits/verification-dependents for a complete listing. Documents may be sent via campus mail to Human Resources, ATTN: Benefits, HRTC or mailed via US mail to:

Life Insurance
We ask that all benefits eligible employees update their life insurance beneficiary each year during the Open Enrollment period.
A beneficiary can be any individual(s). Please note: you may also name trusts, estates or other non-individuals but these, as well as individuals in which you do not have a social security number will need to be documented on a paper beneficiary form. You may access to designate life insurance beneficiaries.
