Enrolling in Benefits
Benefits coverage for full-time employees scheduled to work 20 hours or more per week begins on the date of hire, and you have 30 days to elect your benefits or make changes after a Qualified Life Event.
Eligible Dependents
When you enroll yourself in medical, dental, and/or vision coverage, you may also cover your eligible dependents, including:
- Your legal spouse or qualified domestic partner
- Children under the age of 26, regardless of student, dependency or marital status
- Children who are past the age of 26 and are fully dependent on you for support due to a mental or physical disability and who are indicated as such on your federal tax return.
Elections are Required for 2026
Open Enrollment is active this year, meaning you must take action on Workday if you would like benefits coverage for 2026. Please also ensure your personal information and your dependent(s)’ information, including SSN, are accurate on Workday. If you would like to participate in the FSA, HSA or Transit programs, you must make these elections every year.
Making Changes After Open Enrollment
After Open Enrollment ends, you cannot change your benefits and will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment—unless you experience a Qualified Life Event (such as marriage, birth, or loss of coverage).
Common Qualified Life Events Include
- Marriage
- Welcoming a new child
- Loss of coverage
- Leave of absence
- Loss or change in employment

IMPORTANT!
During Open Enrollment, you will select benefits for January 1 – December 31, 2026. After Open Enrollment ends, you cannot change your benefit elections until the next Open Enrollment period, unless you have a “qualified status change” such as a change in your marital status or the birth of a baby or loss of coverage.
