New to Benefits

Welcome to Your Benefits4Me Program!

Our comprehensive benefits program—Benefits4Me—goes far beyond the basics and offers something for everyone, no matter what your goals are, and will grow with you as your life changes.

We know you have a lot to do as you settle into your new job. Please keep in mind that you must meet certain deadlines.

Important Timing:

  • Within 31 days of your hire date, you must enroll to have healthcare and insurance benefits for the rest of the calendar year. Coverage takes effect retroactively to your first day of work.
  • Within 30 days of your enrollment, you must respond to any request for documentation to verify your dependents’ eligibility. Coverage for your dependents will take effect retroactively to your first day of work.
  • Within 45 days you must enroll in or waive participation in the 401(k) Savings & Investment Plan. Otherwise, you will be automatically enrolled with a 6% contribution. You can change or stop your contribution at any time.

Use the following steps to stay organized as you learn about what’s available, enroll, and use your benefits.
