FAQ

How do I navigate through enrollment?

Enrollment uses what we call road map technology and walks employees through step by step.  You may navigate through enrollment by clicking the Next and Previous buttons or by clicking directly on the screen number desired.

My Name is listed incorrectly.  How do I update this information?

If your name is inaccurate, contact MSU Human Resources at 517-353-4434 or solutionscenter@hr.msu.edu.

My Address is listed incorrectly.  How do I update this information?

If your address is inaccurate, contact MSU Human Resources at 517-353-4434 or solutionscenter@hr.msu.edu or update via your Personal Profile upon completion of enrollment.

Why do I see my divorced spouse listed as a dependent?

All dependents on record are listed in enrollment under Family Members/Dependents.  If you have not reported your divorce, contact MSU Human Resources at 517-353-4434 or solutionscenter@hr.msu.edu to change the status of your spouse to a divorced spouse.  If you have reported your divorce, your divorced spouse will still appear since they are still on your record for rights for continuation of health coverage under COBRA.

I do not see my dependent listed.  How do I add a dependent?

To add a dependent, you must submit the Add Dependent Form.  To initiate the Add Dependent Form, click Launch Add Dependent Form in the upper right hand corner or utilize search box.  Once your Add Dependent Form has been approved, they will appear as a dependent and will be able to be selected to add to your coverage.

My dependent is displayed but is not covered on my plan?

This application displays a comprehensive list of all dependents on record and is not an indication of benefit enrollment status for these individuals.  Based on eligibility requirements, the dependents displayed appear in benefit enrollment for selection.  Status of enrollment for dependents is available on the Benefit Summary Screen and will be defaulted in when making changes to plans.

I have a Sponsor Dependent Rider (SD Rider)/Family Continuation Rider (FC Rider) but it will not allow me to select or remove them on my health plan.

When an employee has a SD Rider and/or FC Rider on their record, enrollment is automatic (no selection is required/allowed).  If they appear, they are covered on your health plan. If you would like to remove them, contact MSU Human Resources at 517-353-4434 or solutionscenter@hr.msu.edu. 

What does Inactive Plans mean?

Inactive plans are plans that an employee is eligible for but are not enrolled in.
