Annual Enrollment FAQs

What if I want to add dependents to my medical, dental or vision coverage for 2024?

Enroll your dependent(s) at se-benefitslink.com and submit the required documents to verify they are eligible by 5 p.m. Central time on November 9, 2023. You can do this in one of three ways:

  • Upload to BenefitsLink (preferred) — Log in to se-benefitslink.com > click Verify My Dependents tile. Upload your documents.
  • Submit a ticket to PeopleLink with your documents attached — support@Schneider > HR Tickets > Annual Enrollment Inquiry with inquiry reason: Annual Enrollment Dependent Eligibility Documentation.

Please allow up to 2 weeks for your dependent documents to be reviewed. If you don’t submit acceptable documents by the above deadline, your dependent(s) won’t be covered. See Your 2024 Benefits Guide Your 2024 Benefits Guide or visit se-benefitslink.com for the documents you need to submit.

What if I’m not eligible for a Health Savings Account?

You can enroll in either the GeoBlue CDHP (with no HSA) or the GeoBlue PPO option. Consider contributing to the Health Care FSA so you can pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses with pre-tax dollars.
You can enroll in either the Buy-up CDHP (with no HSA) or the Core PPO option. Consider contributing to the Health Care FSA so you can pay for eligible out-of-pocket health care expenses with pre-tax dollars.

To be eligible for an HSA, you must be enrolled in a CDHP medical plan option; and must a U.S. citizen, Green Card holder or H1-B visa holder with a U.S. residential address.

What if I cover a domestic partner or their child, and their tax status has changed?
Complete and submit the “Certification of Tax Dependency” form to PeopleLink by 5 p.m. Central time, November 9, 2023.
What if I want to increase my Supplemental Life or Spouse Life coverage, or enroll after waiving coverage in the past?

You (and/or your spouse) will be required to show evidence of insurability — or proof of good health — if you enroll in or increase your Supplemental Life Insurance for yourself and/or your spouse. Unum, the insurance carrier, will email a link to your Schneider Electric email address so you can complete your EOI form online. If you do not have a Schneider Electric email address, Unum will mail the EOI form to your home address. Call Unum if you don’t receive the form by January 1. Your new or increased coverage level and payroll deductions will begin after Unum approves your increased coverage.

What if I have a change in family status between now and the end of 2023?

If you experience an eligible change in status — such as marriage or birth of a child — between now and the end of the year, you will have to ensure that both your 2023 and 2024 elections are updated at se-benefitslink.com within 31 days of the event.

NOTE: If your change in status occurs during the Annual Enrollment period and you wish to update your 2023 benefit elections, you must first complete your status change event for 2023 and then complete your 2024 Annual Enrollment elections.

As you enroll and get ready for your 2024 benefits, keep in mind:
  • If you are changing your medical plan option from the PPO to a CDHP and you currently have a Health Care FSA, your Health Care FSA balance must be $0 by December 31, 2023. Otherwise your and Schneider Electric’s HSA contributions will not begin until April 2024 and the contributions will be prorated.
  • If you are continuing participation in an HSA or the Health Care FSA, keep your PayFlex debit card if it isn’t expired. PayFlex will only send out new cards if the old one has expired or you are new to the plan.
