If you are a benefits-eligible caregiver, you have an employer-paid basic life insurance benefit. Protect your loved ones by making sure that you have named your life insurance beneficiaries. If you’re not sure if you’ve named a beneficiary or who you named as your beneficiary, please follow the instructions below to review or edit your current beneficiaries.
Important note: if you named your beneficiary prior to Jan. 1, 2016, the current benefits enrollment system does not have your beneficiary designation. If you do not name a beneficiary in the current benefits enrollment system, the insurance company determines who will receive your life insurance benefit if there is a claim.
To review, update or name a life insurance beneficiary:
- Login to the benefits enrollment system on the HR portal at Caregiver.eHR.com.
- Click the button titled Enroll in, review or update benefits (see screenshot below)
- In the top right corner of the screen, select Profile, then My Beneficiaries
- Follow the prompts to add, change or confirm your beneficiaries for each life insurance plan

- You can name a trust, estate or charity as your beneficiary.
- Have you recently been married, divorced or had a new baby? You may want to make a change as a result of that event.
- If you are enrolled in more than one type of life insurance (basic life, supplemental life or voluntary AD&D), please be sure to name a beneficiary for each of your benefits.
- You are able to name more than one individual as your beneficiary for each life benefit.
