Employees may elect to enroll in either Voluntary Group Term Policy within 30 days of their hire date, within 30 days of a qualified life event, or during annual enrollment each year. Changes to coverage can only be made during annual enrollment or within 30 days of a qualified life event (death, birth, marriage, divorce, etc.). If enrollment is completed outside of the newly hired initial 30-day eligibility period, medical underwriting/qualification will apply.

Coverage will end on the last day of the month in which your employment terminates, your employment status drops below eligibility criteria, or your dependent is no longer eligible.
