Resident New Hires Benefits Checklist

You will have 30 days from your date of hire to enroll in or waive benefits coverage. Coverage starts on the date of hire. The checklist below outlines the benefits enrollment process.

Step 2: Get Enrolled

    • PeopleSoft ID
    • Date of birth, Social Security Numbers and addresses for any benefit-eligible dependents that you are enrolling in coverage
    • Dependent verification documents must be submitted within your 30 day enrollment window. If documentation is not submitted, your dependents cannot be enrolled in coverage.

Step 4: Explore Your Other Benefits

Step 5: Review Your Disability Options

Protecting your income in the event of a disability is important. Most disabilities are unanticipated and can last for months or years – beyond the benefit provided by the State of New Jersey. You are encouraged to consider whether purchasing additional disability insurance, to protect yourself in the event of an unforeseen event, makes sense for your personal situation. Most major insurance companies offer disability benefits to residents. Consider contacting your financial planner for additional resources.
