Faculty and staff

Making changes

Faculty and staff who already have insurance can make changes at only two times:

1. During the annual enrollment period, which occurs over two weeks during the fall.
   • Information relating to the enrollment process for the annual enrollment period is published on a corresponding Annual Enrollment webpage as it becomes available.
2. After a family/employment status change.
   • If you are outside the annual enrollment period and have a qualifying family/employment status change, complete the "Life Event" form in myHR:
     1. Select the 'My Benefits' tile.
     2. Click on 'Life Events' from the left-hand menu.

See the tutorials on the myHR Training (PeopleSoft HR) webpage for step-by-step instructions for benefits enrollment, submitting life events and other benefits-related information.

Additional Life

Employees wishing to decrease Additional Life coverage without a qualifying family or employment status change should contact the HR Service Center to obtain the appropriate benefit change form.

Short-Term Disability (STD)

You may decrease coverage from the Buy-Up Plan to the Base Plan only during the annual enrollment period. Changes in disability benefit payments only apply to disabilities commencing on or after the date of the change.  

HSAs and FSAs

Visit the HSA and FSA webpages for more information about changing those accounts.

New employees (or newly-eligible for insurance)

If you are a new employee or newly eligible for insurance, please read about enrolling in benefits for the first time.

Retirees

Retirees can reduce or cancel coverage in all plans, except vision, during the plan year by completing a Retiree Benefits Change Form. Please note, if coverage is reduced or cancelled, it cannot be reinstated at a later date. Vision insurance may only be changed (elected, reduced or canceled) during Annual Enrollment. Reach out to the HR Service Center for assistance.
