 4.   Make your decisions 

Before going through the enrollment process, make sure you know how you want to answer the following questions:

1. Which plan(s) do you wish to enroll in?
2. How many individuals do you want to cover? Plans have coverage levels like "self only," "self and spouse," etc. that you will choose from when enrolling.
   1. Confirm eligibility: For any dependents who are already covered by your plan(s), make sure they are eligible to be covered.
      • For example, most children can be covered only until they reach age 26. To confirm your dependents are eligible, consult the applicable summary plan description(s) (SPD).
   2. New dependents: You will need to specify any spouse/sponsored adult dependent or child you want to cover in each plan.
      • For every dependent you are adding to a plan, you will need their full name, birth date and Social Security number.
   3. Proof of Relationship: Proof of Relationship (POR) is required in order to enroll new dependents.
      • After you complete your enrollment, submit supporting documentation to the HR Service Center or your campus HR Generalist within the required time frame.
      • See the (PDF) for more information.
3. Where possible, do you want to enroll on a pre-tax or after-tax basis? 
   • Premiums are deducted from your paycheck automatically, and selecting pre-tax or after-tax determines the order in which taxes and premiums are deducted.
   • If you're not sure which is best for you, watch the pre-tax vs. after-tax premiums (2:47) video for help.
