Enrollment Questions

• When do I need to complete my enrollment?

• • All US full-time employees can enroll or update coverage between November 2–13. Your coverage will roll over to 2027 except for FSAs. For Supplemental life, this year you may increase coverage by one level for yourself or $5,000 for your spouse without providing Evidence of Insurability (EOI). 

• How do I complete my enrollment?

• What if I’m waiving coverage?
  • Even if you plan to waive coverage, we encourage you to go in and review all your benefits options and waive coverage. You will continue receiving reminder emails until you submit your “waive” elections.

• What If I miss Open Enrollment?

• • Your coverage will roll over to 2027 except for FSAs.

• Do I have to re-enroll? I want to keep the same plan.

• • Your coverage will automatically carry over into next year except for FSAs.

• What if I make a mistake? Can I change my elections?

• • You can continue to make changes throughout the open enrollment period of November 2–13. You will want to choose and review your selections carefully. Once open enrollment closes, you cannot make any additional changes, even if you make a mistake. You will have to wait until next year’s open enrollment or within 30 days if you experience a qualified life event to make more changes.

Medical Plan Questions

• What are my plans and choices for 2027?

• • There are three choices for medical plans in 2027:
    • PPO
    • HSA Yellow
    • HSA Black
  • The medical benefits are all Preferred Provider Organization, or “PPO” plans. You choose your healthcare provider—plan benefits are highest when you visit in-network doctors, labs, and hospitals. The network is the same for all plans.
  • Please see the plan summaries on the right of this page to find out more information on all three plans.

• What are the costs of the plans?
  • Please see the chart below for 2027 plan costs.

Maven & Family Planning Benefits

Below are answers to common questions about eligibility and enrollment for Maven’s Fertility, Maternity, Adoption, and Surrogacy benefits.

• Who is eligible to receive the $15,000  reimbursement for fertility treatment expenses?
  • Employees or their dependents who are receiving fertility treatments while covered under our Blue Shield (BSCA) medical plan are eligible for reimbursement of qualified fertility treatment expenses, up to $15,000.
• Who is eligible to receive the $15,000 reimbursement for adoption or surrogacy expenses?
  • All full-time employees are eligible to receive reimbursement toward eligible adoption or surrogacy expenses, regardless of their benefit enrollment status.
• How do I enroll to access Maven’s Fertility and Maternity benefits?
  • For fertility benefits, the individual undergoing treatment must be enrolled in the medical plan—no additional action is required. For adoption or surrogacy benefits, full-time employees are automatically enrolled and do not need to take any further steps.

Other Questions

• Who can I enroll in coverage?

• • Eligible dependents include:

• • • Your legal spouse or your domestic partner (a domestic partner affidavit is required)

• • • Your children up to age 26

• • • Your children of any age, if incapable of self-support due to a mental or physical disability

• What happens if I enroll my domestic partner?

• • To enroll your domestic partner and/or their children in your plan(s), you must complete a Declaration of Domestic Partnership affidavit and return it to the benefits department.
  • If your domestic partner is not your tax dependent, both
    portions of their health coverage are subject to tax. Your share of the premiums is deducted from your pay after taxes, and the portion Wilbur-Ellis pays appears as taxable (imputed) income on your paycheck.

• When can I change my elections?

• • Open enrollment is the one time you can change your benefits a year without an IRS-approved qualified life event. If you miss open enrollment or make a mistake, you will not be able to make changes until next year’s open enrollment or within 30 days if you experience an IRS approved life event.

• How do I set my life insurance beneficiary?

• • During Open Enrollment, the system will let you set your Basic Life and AD&D and employee Supplemental Life and AD&D insurance beneficiaries.

• How do I change my 401k elections?

• • 401(k) elections can be changed at any time, so they’re not a part of Open Enrollment. To change your 401(k) elections, log in to your account at 401k.com.

• Can I talk to someone about my questions?
  • If you have specific coverage questions, please contact the insurance providers (BlueShield, Delta Dental, VSP, WEX).
  • For all other questions, please chat with AskWilbur in Teams.

General

How can I update my HSA payroll contributions?

You can update your contribution at anytime in the Workday Benefits tile.

When will my funds be available to use after they are deducted from my payroll?

It can take up to seven business days from the date funds were deducted from your payroll for them to be posted to your account.

Can I contribute to my HSA once I turn 65?

You can continue contributing to your HSA once you turn 65 as long as you do not enroll in Medicare. Keep in mind you are automatically enrolled in Medicare Part A if you sign up for Social Security benefits. Your HSA will not be affected if your spouse enrolls in Medicare, but you, as the primary account holder, do not. Once you enroll in Medicare, you can no longer contribute to your HSA, but can continue using funds in the account for eligible expenses.
