A: You must complete the enrollment process through MyOEBB within 31 days of your start date in a benefits eligible position.

A. Benefits eligible employees who begin employment on or before the 15th of the month will be eligible for benefits on the 1st day on the following month.
For example:
- A hire date of September 6th will have a benefits effective date of October 1st
