HOW TO ENROLL
Your employer will setup your profile in Employee Navigator and then will trigger an email for you to go into the ENAV system.
Once you receive that email from Employee Navigator you will go in and elect and/or waive any benefits which can't be changed until next open enrollment unless you have a qualifying life event. (example: divorce, married, have a baby, adopt a child or lose other coverage) You have 30 days from the date of the event to notify HR to make appropriate changes.
Please write down your username and password as every year at open enrollment you will be required to go in and re-elect or waive your benefits.
