Open Enrollment Instructions

This year, benefits-eligible employees will complete open enrollment using Employee Self-Service (ESS) in the new Enterprise Business Systems (EBS). Here is the process for completing open enrollment:

• Visit ebs.msu.edu and select “EBS Login.”

• Log in using your MSU NetID and password.

• Select the ESS tab.

• Select the Benefits link.

• Select the Enrollment Services link.

• Select the Open Enrollment link.

• If you have a spouse or OEI on your benefits, the Health Plan Affidavit will appear. Answer the questions, select Next, then Save.

• Now you will see the Plan Selections screen. Select the first plan you would like to add, edit or remove.

• Select your desired plan and level of coverage, then click Select Dependents.

• Select the dependents you would like to cover on the plan. Then click Add Plan to Selection.

o If you do not see one of your dependents, it is either because they are not eligible for the plan or they need to be added as a dependent in the new system. See the article on page 5 of your open enrollment guide for how to add a dependent.

• Once you have added, edited or removed all of your desired plans, select Review Enrollment.

• Review your plan selections, then select Save.

• You now have completed open enrollment!
