How to Sign Up
You'll need to make selections in Employee Self Service for basic medical and dental coverage within your first 35 days of employment. In most cases, coverage is effective following a 35 calendar day waiting period. You must also enroll in the family medical or dental coverage, flexible spending accounts, or long-term disability (if eligible) within your first 35 days or wait until the next Open Enrollment period (yearly in the fall).
Limited amounts of employee and spouse life insurance, child life insurance, and the short-term disability coverage may also be applied for within your first 35 days of employment without providing evidence of good health.
