Depending on how your administrator has configured your account, updates and changes to your dependents' information may require approval before they can appear on your employee profile.
To add a dependent, navigate to the My Info tab and click Benefits on the employee profile. Scroll down to the Dependents table and click +Add Dependent.
Enter the new dependent's information in the pop-up modal. When updating or adding information about a dependent, be sure to also complete the required fields: First Name, Last Name, Birth Date, Gender, and Relationship. Once completed, click Save.
To edit a dependent's information, hover your cursor over the dependent's name in the table and click on the pencil icon. If applicable, click on the trash can icon to remove a dependent.*
The delete option will not be available if the dependent is currently enrolled or scheduled to enroll in a benefit plan.
