To add eligible dependents, access the Benefits Enrollment Portal, access your new hire life event, and on the Family page, click Add New, enter your dependent's information, then click save.
Once you've added your dependent into the Benefits Enrollment Portal, make sure to cover your dependents in specific benefits by checking the box next to their name(s).

After you submit your new hire benefit choices, your elections will show up in the Benefits Enrollment Portal right away, and your benefits will be effective day one.
