Benefit Enrollment Instructions

You must enroll online in your benefits before they will start. Complete the online enrollment if you:

  • Are new to state employment AND your position entitles you to benefits (all full time classified position and some part time classified positions)
  • Are eligible for benefits, even if you are declining them.
  • Are transferring to IDOC from another state agency.

    • Make your Dental selection.
      Note: If you enroll dependents for Medical but decline Dental for dependents, you may not add Dental coverage until a Dental open enrollment, which does not happen every year.
    • If you and/or your dependents are currently covered by another medical plan or have been covered in the last 63 days, you will need that policy information to complete your enrollment update.
    • Click Submit when finished. (Do not click "save" unless you plan to complete the form at a later date.)
    • Another form pop-up appears for participation in the premium only plan. The purpose of this form is to confirm your selection of Pre-tax or Post-tax premiums. Read the text and click "I accept" for pre-tax. Your electronic signature will be placed at the bottom of the form and can be viewed when you print the document.
      Note: If you do not click "I Accept", your form will not be submitted.
