Other Benefits

Use the Other Benefits screen to view and select "other" insurance options. You can access the Other Benefits screen within either the Benefits Enrollment or Life Events/New Hires process.  The screen displays your current coverage and new coverage.  

When do I use the Other Benefits screen?

The Other Benefits screen displays three tables:  the Current Coverage table, which shows your current elections; the Enroll in New Coverage table, in which you can make new benefits elections; and the Dependent Information table, in which you can select dependents for coverage on each plan (when applicable).  

Use the Other Benefits page to view, update, save or navigate away from an existing record, or to add a new one.

If there are no current other benefit elections for you, the system will display the following message in the Current Coverage table: "You are currently not covered under a benefit plan. To enroll, please make a selection below and click the 'Save' button."
