Once your 31-day enrollment window ends, you can’t enroll in or change your benefits until the annual Open Enrollment period, unless you have a qualifying life event.
What are my options?
As a benefits-eligible employee, you can choose from a variety of benefit options, including medical, dental, vision, life insurance, disability coverage, and more. Some benefits are provided automatically, while others require you to make an election during your new hire enrollment window.
You’ll find detailed information about each benefit, eligibility rules, and costs in the benefits resources linked below.
When do I need to enroll in my benefits?
You have 31 days from your date of hire to enroll in benefits. If you don't, you may not make changes to your benefits until the next enrollment period unless you have a qualifying life event.
Can I make changes during the year?
After your new-hire enrollment window closes, your benefit elections generally remain in place for the rest of the plan year. You can only make changes to your benefits during the year if you have a qualifying life event.
It is your responsibility to initiate a life event in Workday within 31 days of the qualifying life event. If you don’t, you may not be able to make changes to your benefits until the next annual open enrollment period. Examples of qualifying life events include:
-
- Birth, legal adoption, or placement for adoption
- Marriage, divorce, or legal separation
- Dependent child reaches age 26
- Spouse or dependent loses or gains coverage elsewhere
- Death of your spouse or dependent child
- Spouse or dependent child becomes eligible or ineligible for Medicare/Medicaid or the state’s children’s health insurance program
- Change in residence that changes coverage eligibility
- Spouse’s open enrollment that occurs at a different time from yours
