Benefits

Open Enrollment takes place in May to April and you will receive several reminders throughout April and May.

If you were hired after Open Enrollment ended, you are still eligible for benefits. Your benefits will begin on the 1st of the month, 30 days after your initial hiring date. For example, if your hire date was September 15, 30 days after your hire date is October 15. Therefore, your benefits will begin on November 01.
