Why benefits enrollment is important

The University of Kansas Health System offers a variety of benefits to help you take care of yourself and your family.
New employees, those newly benefit-eligible and those with qualifying life events must log in through the benefits
website, kansashealthsystem.bswift.com, to choose your benefits or to waive coverage.

New employees and those newly eligible due to a status change have 30 days from the hire or status-change date
to enroll or waive coverage.

The choices you make during benefits enrollment will be in effect for the entire year of 2022 unless you have a
qualifying life event.

Qualifying life events include:

Marriage or divorce
Birth or adoption of a child
Gain or loss of other coverage
Change in your dependent’s eligibility status
Change to benefit-eligible status

You have 30 days from the qualifying life event to enter the life event on the benefits website. If you have questions, call the benefits help line at 888-494-9119.

You’ll need to provide proof of the qualifying life event
(such as marriage certificate, divorce decree, birth certificate, gain or loss of coverage letter) to make the change.
