When you enroll for life insurance, accident insurance or the Savings Program, you will be asked to name a beneficiary to receive any benefits that may become payable in the event of your death.

When You May Elect Coverage
You may elect benefits coverage when you first become eligible.  In addition, you may enroll for some benefit plans during the annual Open Enrollment period as described in the chart below.

When You May Change Your Elections
You may add or change coverage for basic life, supplemental life, spouse and dependent life, and long term care insurance with an approved statement of health.  You may add special accident insurance at any time.  You may cancel these coverages at any time.  You may change most Savings Program elections at any time by calling the information line.  There are limited circumstances under which you may change other benefit elections. 

Other election changes can be made annually, during the Open Enrollment period, or within 30 days of a Qualifying Life Event, or qualifying significant change in cost or in coverage. 

If you would like to request a mid-year election change because of a qualifying event, you must complete a change form and return it to the Benefit Plans Office within 30 days of the event.  You may enroll a newborn or newly adopted child for dental coverage at any time until the child is one year of age under MetLife dental and to age 3 years old under Delta Dental.  Otherwise, the child can only be enrolled at Open Enrollment.

BWXT Y-12 salaried employees must elect the 30% Long-Term Disability buy-up within 30 days of becoming eligible.

Reference to a 30-day time limit in this book means calendar days.  The 30-day period begins on the day of the event and ends 29 days thereafter.  Holidays and weekends are included in the 30-day period.  Forms must be received in the Benefit Plans Office by close of business on day 30 in order to be accepted.
