How to Enroll

You may enroll for state benefits when you first become eligible - as a new hire or because of a Qualifying Status Change event during the year - and again during Open Enrollment each year. If you don't make changes to your benefits during Open Enrollment, your previous year's benefit choices stay in effect for the following year unless there are contract vendor changes or changes in law.

• If you are a newly hired employee or have just experienced a Qualifying Status Change event, your enrollment deadline is driven by your date of hire or the date of the event, respectively. See the New Hire Center or the Life Event Center for more information about your deadline.

Health Savings Account Enrollment

Think you made your enrollment choices and now you're through? If you enrolled in a Health Investor Health Plan, don't stop until you have enrolled for your Health Savings Account. HSA enrollment is a two-step process:

• Once you have selected a Health Investor Health Plan, you must open your HSA through the enrollment system or your enrollment form – indicating how much you want to contribute, if anything,
• Then you must activate your HSA personal bank account at Tallahassee State Bank by completing the HSA bank account application. Note: By Federal law, you will be required to provide your Social Security number, date of birth and residential address (not a post office box) to the HSA administrator before an HSA can be opened in your name.

Until you open your HSA in the enrollment system and activate your HSA personal bank account, you will miss out on the state's contribution to your account.
