It’s important to know your deadline for making any changes to your benefit selections. Check with your human resources department to find out your deadline.

This is also the perfect time to verify and update your dependents, as well as your personal information, including email, address and phone number.

After open enrollment closes, you cannot change your benefit selections until the next open enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying event, such as marriage, birth, your spouse losing coverage from another insurer or other limited instances.
