How To Enroll

Action Required

The deadline to make your benefit elections for the plan year beginning July 1st is April 30, 2021.

 

Annual enrollment is your opportunity to make benefit elections for the July 2021 – June 2022 plan year. Per IRS rules, employees enrolled in pre-tax benefit plans may only make changes to their benefits once per year during the annual enrollment period. Outside of the annual enrollment period, you may only make changes if you experience a “qualifying life event” such as marriage, birth of a child, loss of dependent status, etc. During annual enrollment, you may:

 

  • Enroll in, change or cancel benefit enrollments.
  • Enroll (or re-enroll) in flexible spending accounts for the new plan year.
  • Add or drop dependents from benefit enrollments.


This year, benefit elections will be made on our Workday portal. Beginning April 12th, you can log into Workday using the link below.


When you are in the Workday website, please also consider increasing your retirement contribution at this time.
