Enrolling in Benefits
Benefits coverage for full time employees begins on the date of hire, and you have 31 days to elect your benefits.
Making Changes After Open Enrollment
After Open Enrollment, you cannot make changes to your benefits during the year unless you have a Qualified Life Event and you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period to make changes, unless you experience another Qualified Life Event.
How to Enroll
If you need to make any changes to your benefits or are enrolling for the first time, you must log in to the Online Benefits Enrollment System at benefits.metro.net.
Access is available through the Metro’s Intranet and remotely from your home computer.
If you require assistance, please contact a staff member in the Pension & Benefits Administration office or call (213) 922-1260.
