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: Beneficiary records transitioned to the new enrollment system on Jan. 1, 2018. It is important that you check to ensure your beneficiary choice was loaded correctly and make updates if needed. If there is no beneficiary named in the current 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:
- Go to the HR portal at Caregiver.eHR.com
- Click on the Enroll in, review or update benefits button
- Click on Profile, then My beneficiaries
- Input your life insurance beneficiary (or beneficiaries)
