This year, Open Enrollment—your annual opportunity to add, change, or remove benefits—runs through Friday, Oct. 29. Election changes made during open enrollment are effective on Jan. 1, 2022.
How do I review my plan or make changes?
To make changes, including adding or removing covered dependents, you can login to Workday and click on the Benefits Worklet to make your selections. Remember that covered dependents must provide proof of eligibility. If you are adding a new dependent you will be required to upload documents, such as a birth certificate for a dependent child or a marriage certificate for a spouse.
If you do not make changes, your benefit elections will roll over to next year, with the exception of the Flexible Spending Account. This benefit must be elected each year.
How do I add a dependent?
To add or remove a dependent from your medical, dental, or vision coverage, select the benefit listed in Workday and click “Manage.” Your existing dependents will be listed and you can choose to include or remove them. If the dependent is new and not listed, click “Add New Dependent." You will be directed to a screen to add information about the dependent. When completed, click “Save.” The new dependent will now appear in the list of existing dependents, with a check mark indicating “to be covered.” To add dependents on other benefits, click “Manage” under the specific benefit boxes. The new dependent appears as an existing dependent. Click on the box in front of the dependent’s name to add to each coverage. Press “Save” to finalize.
How do I access mental and behavioral health benefits?
