Your health and wellness is a priority. That’s why we want to help you understand your benefits at every stage—what you’re entitled to now, what to do if you need to make a change, and how to plan ahead for the future.
You can make whatever changes you would like during open enrollment in October/November of each year. However, there are a few “qualifying life events” that allow you to make certain changes at any time.
Some changes in your life can make you eligible for a special open enrollment period. You have 30 days from and including the date of the event to make changes to your benefits. If you miss the 30-day deadline, your next chance to request a change is during regular open enrollment.
It’s important to make sure that you have designated your beneficiaries for your life, retirement, and health savings plans. We recommend you review these decisions at least once a year and consider updating them when you experience a major life event—such as marriage or the birth of a child—or when you update your will or estate.
If you’ve just joined Indiana University, learn all about your options in our section for new employees.
The following changes can be made at any time, and do not require a qualifying life change event:
You can view a summary of your benefits, make changes due to an IRS-qualified life event, change/add your beneficiaries, get tax information, or make optional benefit changes (such as changing the amount of your HSA contribution) at One.IU.
