Within 30 days of a qualifying life event. Outside of an enrollment period, you can enroll or make changes to your coverage only if you are experiencing a qualifying work or family status change event such as a birth, marriage, divorce, becoming newly benefits eligible, or a gain or loss of independent coverage.
During the Annual Open Enrollment Period. This typically occurs in the Fall and allows you to enroll or make changes to your benefits for the following plan year.

Coverage will begin for you and any covered eligible dependents on the first day of the month after your date of hire or qualifying life event.

If you do not enroll in benefits during your enrollment period:

You will be defaulted into the Basic Life Insurance and AD&D benefits provided by SCL Health.
