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 the Life Events/New Hires process.  The screen displays your current coverage and allows you to enroll in new coverage.  A Start Date field also displays in this screen.

When do I use the Other Benefits screen?

The Other Benefits screen displays the following 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 choose selected 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.
