Making Changes During Open Enrollment
Employees may make changes directly in CORE-CT until Saturday, May 31, 2025. Please note that current members of the Quality First Select Access medical plan may not be able to make changes in CORE-CT, and instead, may need to contact Human Resources Benefits@uconn.edu for assistance.
Please do not click ‘select’ on the Open Enrollment Event unless you intend to make changes as doing so may result in a disruption of your coverage.
- Instructions for entering changes into CORE-CT are available in the eBenefits Open Enrollment Job Aid. Please read the Job Aid and tips below before making any changes.
- Do not initiate the Open Enrollment event until you are confident in your elections.
- Do not initiate the Open Enrollment event more than once.
- If a dependent is being added to insurance a copy of supporting documentation (i.e. marriage license, long form birth certificate, etc.) is also required and must be uploaded directly into CORE-CT at the time changes are entered. Do not initiate the Open Enrollment event until you have the necessary proof documentation ready to upload.
- CORE-CT is not available after 8pm daily.
- CORE-CT will also be completely unavailable on 5/7, 5/9, 5/10, 5/11, and 5/22.
- Once your changes have been entered into CORE-CT, they will be processed by Human Resources, and a Confirmation Statement will be e-mailed to you (this may take several business days).
