Changes to your benefits
If you experience a major life event or change in your personal or work life, you may need to change your benefits.
You have 31 days from the date of a qualified change of status event to complete changes to your benefits that are consistent with that event. If you do not make your eligible changes during the 31-day status change period (60 days for changes related to CHIP eligibility), your changes cannot be made until the next Annual Enrollment in July. Find a list of qualified life event changes and documentation required.
You can make changes to your benefits two ways:
- Online at My UT Benefits – Chrome is the preferred browser for My UT Benefits. Internet Explorer is not compatible.
- Benefitplace mobile app – Follow the instructions to download the benefits app and enroll on your phone.
