When Can I Make Changes?

For the 401(k) Savings Plan and the ESPP, you don’t need to provide a reason to make changes. You can make changes at any time by logging in to your account at Fidelity NetBenefits website.

For most of your other benefits, outside of your new hire enrollment period and Open Enrollment, you can make changes to your benefits only if you experience a qualifying life event. Any changes to your benefits because of a qualifying life event must be made within 31 days of that event. It’s up to you to log in to the Benefits Service Center website or to call 888.850.1767 within that 31-day period. 

Don’t forget, you’ll need to provide some documentation to back up your life event. Your documentation could include things like a marriage certificate, birth certificate or divorce decree. If you don’t get your life event documentation in on time, your next chance to make changes will be during the next Open Enrollment period.

For a complete list of qualifying life events, go to the Benefits Service Center website or call 888.850.1767.
