New Hire

Welcome to VyStar! New hires can enroll in benefits within 30 days of hire date. Benefits are effective on the first of the month following 30 days of employment.

Annual Enrollment

All benefit-eligible employees have an annual opportunity to make changes to your benefits and/or covered dependents. The decisions you make during our annual Open Enrollment will go into effect beginning January 1 through December 31 of the next plan year, unless you experience a Qualifying Life Event.

Qualifying Life Event

If you experience a Qualifying Life Event, you will have an additional opportunity to make changes to your benefits. You must elect benefits through our benefits portal, Workday within 30 days of the event; this is your Special Enrollment Period. Changes made due to a Qualifying Life Event include:

• Marriage or divorce
• Birth or adoption (or a change in dependent eligibility)
• Loss or change of insurance coverage due to spouse’s employment or a dependent turning 26
• Change in eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid
• Court order requiring coverage for your child

Remember – You won’t be able to make changes to your benefits outside of the scenarios above, so plan accordingly and make sure you have all the coverages you need each plan year.
