How You Enroll in Benefits

The benefits enrollment process consists of three major steps.

Participants should complete the steps in the following order:

Open the self-service Benefits Service Center page by selecting Benefits under Me on the Navigator menu.

Add Contacts and Beneficiary Organizations

Before you start electing benefits, add or update all persons or organizations that you plan to designate as dependents or beneficiaries.

• Add persons in the Contacts section.

• Add beneficiary organizations or trusts in the Beneficiary Organizations section.

Provide all information required to determine the eligibility of each contact or organization. This ensures that the contacts and organizations are available for designation when you elect benefits.

Review and Resolve Action Items
