How to Enroll

The first step is to review your current benefit elections. Log onto the GeoBen enrollment system to verify your personal information and make any changes if necessary. Make your benefit elections. Once you have made your elections, you cannot change them until the next annual enrollment period unless you have a qualified change in status.

When to Enroll

If you are a new hire AND hired on the first day of the month, you may enroll and be effective immediately. Otherwise, as a new hire, you may enroll immediately, but your effective date will be the 1st of the month, following your date of hire. For example, if you were hired on January 18th, you can enroll immediately (fill out your specific forms), and your coverage would start on February 1st.
