New Hire Benefits Checklist
- Explore the benefits options available to you by reviewing this site or the Benefits Guide.
- Review your medical expenses over the past year to estimate how much you may want to contribute to the Healthcare Flexible Spending Account (FSA) or Health Savings Account (HSA).
- Make sure you have Social Security numbers, addresses and dates of birth for any dependents you wish to add to your AHEAD benefits, as well as beneficiaries.
- Verify that your mailing address in UKG is correct.
- If you do not wish to enroll in any AHEAD benefits, be sure to still designate beneficiaries for your company-provided life insurance.
- After you enroll, watch for additional information about dependent verification. You may need to provide additional documentation to confirm your dependent’s eligibility for coverage.
