are currently enrolled in. Click the page icon in the action column to enroll in new plans. Click the option
you wish to select and check the boxes for the dependents you wish to enroll. If a check box for a

life for your child(ren) or the child(ren) of your registered domestic partner, or accidental death and
dismemberment insurance options. If you see a pop-up box with the heading “ EOI (Evidence of Insurability)
REQUIRED!”, this means you must provide evidence of insurability for the coverage you have selected before
the coverage will become active. Refer to the instructions in the pop-up window. You will also receive an email
notifying you of your insurance change and the need to provide evidence of insurability. The coverage you
selected is pending until your requested coverage has been approved or denied by Reliance Standard.

specify the annual contribution amount. The annual amount will be divided into 24 equal payroll deductions in 2018.
Please review your Benefits Confirmation Statement to verify your per pay period deduction amount.
