Benefits - Change in Enrollment Eligibility
If you become eligible for benefits because of a change in employment status, most benefits become effective the first of the month coincident with or following the date of the change (the "benefits-effective date"). Employees will receive an invitation via their New School email account to attend an upcoming Benefits Q&A session. You can view the Benefits Orientation Powerpoint 01-01-2024.pdf1205P Benefits Orientation Powerpoint 01.01.2024.pdf at any time to review your plan options.
Employees must complete their benefits enrollment within 31 days of their benefits-effective date. An "action" (i.e. to-do) will be scheduled for the employee in MyDay. Follow the prompts to complete the Change in Benefits Eligibility event.
If you do not enroll in the Health Care or Dental Care insurance plans or set up a Flexible Spending Account within 31 days of your benefits-effective date, you cannot be enrolled in these plans for the current calendar year. Your next opportunity to enroll will be during the fall Open Enrollment period for coverage effective on January 1 of the following year. You may enroll in other benefit plans as noted in the specific benefit's description.
