4. I'm a new hire. Can I participate in Open Enrollment?

As a new hire, you are able to elect your current plan year coverage and the new plan year within 31 days of your hire. If there are any questions, please reach out to the Benefits Office.


If you fail to elect coverage within 31 days of your hire date, you must wait until the next annual Open Enrollment or a qualifying life event.
