Changing Your Benefits Programs
When you enroll in benefits, your elections remain in effect to the end of the calendar year and you cannot make any changes until the next Open Enrollment period, which is usually in October. However, if you experience a qualifying family or employment status change during the calendar year, you may be able to make a benefit change that corresponds with the status change.
Please note that most benefits have deadlines for change. More information is provided at succeeding links.
