Your next opportunity to enroll will be Annual Enrollment (for the next calendar year)-unless you experience a qualified life event, in which case you can enroll mid-year at the time of your life event. And, if your negotiated CBA allows and you want to enroll for LTD, Optional Life, or Supplemental Life Insurance coverages after your 30-day enrollment window, you&#8217;ll need to provide satisfactory EOI before the coverage takes effect.<\/p>\n\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<div class=\"entry-summary\">\n<div class=\"entry-summary\">\nEnrollment How to Make Your Elections Health and welfare coverages MyBenefits Online&hellip;\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/enrollment-rules\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Enrollment&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"link-more\"><a href=\"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/enrollment-rules\/\" class=\"more-link\">Continue reading<span class=\"screen-reader-text\"> &ldquo;Enrollment&rdquo;<\/span>&hellip;<\/a><\/div>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"parent":0,"menu_order":0,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","template":"page-template\/_fullwidth.php","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"inline_featured_image":false,"footnotes":""},"class_list":["post-279","page","type-page","status-publish","hentry","entry"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/279","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/page"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=279"}],"version-history":[{"count":56,"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/279\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":2754,"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/pages\/279\/revisions\/2754"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/mdlzbmr.com\/union\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=279"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
