How to Enroll during a Leave of Absence

Employees on approved leave during our Open Enrollment period may make changes to their medical, dental or vision plans and flexible spending accounts when they return to active duty.

If you do not contact Risk & Benefits Management to complete a benefits change form within 30 calendar days of your return to work, you will be enrolled in the default medical plan and other voluntary benefits may be dropped. Benefits that were canceled while on leave (short-term disability, long-term disability) will not automatically be reinstated. Please complete a benefits change form within 30 calendar days of your return to re-elect these types of plans.
