When to Enroll
New hires or those newly eligible for benefits can enroll within 30 days of becoming eligible. Then, each spring, you make your benefit decisions during Open Enrollment. Choose carefully! With some exceptions, your choices remain in effect until June 30 of the next year.
You may change your elections during the year only if you experience a qualifying life event like birth, marriage, divorce, death, or your spouse/domestic partner losing or obtaining coverage.
For a few benefits, you can make changes at any time, including Commuter, HSA, DCP, RSP, and TSP contributions (as applicable). If eligible, you can also make changes to Additional Life and AD&D Insurance, subject to Evidence of Insurability (EOI).
If You Don't Enroll
- You will have coverage for Art Institute-provided Core Life and AD&D Insurance, Paid Medical Leave (PML), and Long-Term Paid Medical Leave (LTPML) coverage. You’re automatically enrolled in these benefits when eligible.
- You will be enrolled in the DCP at the 3% contribution level, if eligible. (You can still change your contribution level at any time.)
- You will NOT have medical (including prescription drug), dental, vision, HSA, FSAs, Additional Life and AD&D Insurance, or Buy-Up LTPML coverage.
- You will NOT be able to enroll in these benefits until the next Open Enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying life event.
