Some benefits begin on your eligibility date while others will begin on the date you enroll. See the Summary Plan Description for detailed information on the date each benefit begins.
For active employees you will see your benefit elections displayed on the Benefits dashboard. The benefits you select will remain in effect through the calendar year unless you experience a qualified status change.
