Enrolling if You Are a Newly Hired Employee
If you've just joined JPMorgan Chase and are enrolling for the first time, you need to make your choices through the Benefits Web Center on My Health or through HR Answers within 31 days of your date of hire if you are a full-time employee, and within 31 days prior to becoming eligible if you are a part-time employee, as explained below:
- If you are a full-time employee (regularly scheduled to work 40 hours per week), you may receive information about benefits enrollment after accepting a position with JPMorgan Chase but before your hire date. Your coverage will begin on the first of the month after your hire date, as long as you enroll before your hire date or within 31 days after your hire date.
- If you are a part-time employee (regularly scheduled to work at least 20 but less than 40 hours per week), your benefits effective date will be the first of the month following your 60-day waiting period, and you will receive your enrollment materials within 31 days before becoming eligible for coverage. You need to enroll within 31 days before your eligibility date.
If you enroll for supplemental term life insurance when you are a newly hired employee, you are allowed to enroll for supplemental term life insurance for an amount up to the lesser of three times your Total Annual Cash Compensation (TACC) or up to $500,000 without having to submit EOI. You can enroll a spouse/domestic partner for an amount up to $50,000 without having to submit EOI. Elected amounts above these guaranteed issue amounts will be subject to EOI and will not be effective until approved by MetLife. Please see "Evidence of Insurability" for more information. Note that special enrollment periods may be offered from time to time, and the insurance carrier may have slightly different EOI rules during that special enrollment period.
You can access your benefits enrollment materials online at My Health > Benefits Enrollment.
