  • When You'll Receive Benefits

    You have 45 calendar days from your hire date to enroll in your benefits. Your coverage effective date is based on your hire date or (for existing Groupe employees) when your employment status changes to benefits-eligible.

    If you are hired or become eligible for benefits on the first of a month, your coverage will be effective on the first of that month. Otherwise, coverage will fall on the following month.

    Example: If you were hired on October 1, you would receive benefits effective October 1. If you were hired on October 2, you would receive benefits effective November 1.

    Timing

    Activity

    Within 45 calendar days of your hire date

    Enroll in your benefit elections online on the bswift enrollment site.

    Within 7 – 14 days from the time you enrolled

    You and your dependent(s) will be actively enrolled with the benefits that you elected. If you'd like to contact our insurance benefit administrators to discuss in-network providers, see the contact list on the Contacts page.

    Within 14 – 21 days from the time you enrolled

    You'll receive ID card(s) in the mail from our insurance benefit administrators, including medical, prescription, and dental, as applicable.

    NOTE: If you need to use insurance before your enrollment is active in the insurance benefit administrator's system, you may pay out-of-pocket and submit a paper claim to the insurance benefit administrator. Or, you may present the enrollment confirmation page to your provider, and ask the provider's office to hold off on sending claims to the insurance benefit administrator until you can confirm you are actively enrolled.
