New Hire Fact Sheet - Benefits Deadlines and Defaults

When do I need to enroll?

You have 31 days from your official hire date to enroll or waive coverage.  Your hire date can be found on your university welcome letter.  If you fail to enroll or waive your coverage within the deadline, you will be automatically enrolled in the following default plans:

Medical Plans Coverage Cost
CU Health Plan - High Deductible Employee Only $0/month
Dental Plans Coverage Cost
CU Health Plan  - Essential Dental Employee Only $0/month

Once you submit your elections, or you are defaulted, your elections will remain for the plan year.  You may not make any changes to your elections until next Open Enrollment, unless you experience a qualifying life event.
