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.
Enrollment is Passive for 2027
Open Enrollment is passive this year, meaning your current elections will rollover to 2027, with the exception of FSA, Commuter, and HSA. If you want to make changes to your benefits or enroll in the FSA, Commuter, or HSA, you must log on to Workday to complete your enrollment.
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, 2027. 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.
