We're so happy to have you on the team!
Please follow the steps below within 30 days of your date of hire (start date) to enroll in benefits for 2024 and 2025.
Enroll within the Benefits Portal
If you want to enroll in A-B benefits, please make sure to access the Benefits Portal and enroll for both 2024 and 2025 within 30 days of your hire/start date.
Once you enroll in benefits, the coverage you elected for this year will be effective day one.
If it is your first time logging into the Benefits Portal, you will need to Register for an account.
What can you expect from the enrollment process?
When you enter the Benefits Portal, you will see a new hire event that enables you to enroll in benefits for this year. Once you submit 2024 elections, the 2024 new hire event will conclude and a second event will appear to enable you to enroll in 2025 benefits.
Please make sure to submit benefit elections for both 2024 and 2025 within 30 days of your start date.
Are you eligible for Vacation Buy and you want to purchase 2023 vacation days?
Vacation Buy is only available during Annual Enrollment (until 11/18 at 11:59pm CT), so please make your 2023 vacation buy elections during Annual Enrollment if you wish to buy vacation.
