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.

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 am currently enrolled in a plan that is not shown on my benefit summary, why?

Enrollment on the benefit summary screen is as of the date of the event.  If completing Open Enrollment, the enrollment information is defaulting as of the new plan year beginning January 1st.  If completing enrollment based on a life event, the enrollment information displayed is as of the start of the life event.  Also keep in mind that only plans that pertain to this event will be displayed.  Enrollment for all MSU administered plans can be viewed in your Current Benefit Participation.

I received the error ‘Employee is not enrolled in all required plans for CDHP Health Equity – HSA’. How do I correct this?

Employees may only be enrolled in a HSA plan if they are also enrolled in the CDHP plan.  If you have removed your CDHP plan, you must also remove the HSA Plan on the Savings Plan screen.  If you want to continue in the HSA plan, you need to elect the CDHP plan on the Health Plan screen. 

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.
