7. Enrolling in 2019 benefits 1
Click the shopping cart from the home page 2
Click “Get Started” to begin your benefits shopping experience
Let’s take a closer look at how to enroll using the new benefits enrollment system. The experience is similar to shopping for your favorite products online.
All current elections for caregivers will map over to this new system to provide an easy starting point for the 2019 enrollment. If you want to retain the same elections from 2018, there is nothing you need to do. However, please note that you need to re-enroll each year to continue participation in Health Care and Dependent Care Flexible Spending Accounts.
It starts with the shopping cart on the home page of the HR portal. We will walk you through a few screen shots to give you a feel for how this works. The rest of the process is intuitive.
