How to Enroll

  1. At work, use your OKTA sign-on and look for the bswift tile, and click it for direct access to the Jabil Benefits Service Center.
    OR
    If you’re not using OKTA, go to the Jabil Benefits Service Center (jabilbenefits.bswift.com) and log on using:
    • Username: Your employee ID@jabil.com (e.g., 123456@jabil.com)
    • Password: Last 4 digits of your Social Security Number

    You can also enroll through the bswift app.

  2. Choose the dependents you’ll cover.
  3. Choose your benefits.
    • Want Jabil’s HSA contribution, including your wellness incentive? Each year during enrollment, you must enter your HSA contribution amount. If you don’t want to contribute, enter $0. Medicare enrollees are not eligible.
    • Enrolling in Supplemental Life Insurance coverage? If you choose more than $400,000 of coverage for yourself and/or more than $35,000 for your spouse, you will need to show proof of good health before you’re approved for coverage. Just click on the MetLife Statement of Health to complete the form.
    • For Long-Term Disability (LTD), you choose to pay taxes on company-paid premiums or not. If you don’t make a choice during enrollment, you will automatically pay taxes on premiums. In this case, if you later become disabled, you won’t pay taxes on the LTD benefits you receive. If you elect not to pay taxes on the premiums, you will pay taxes on the LTD benefits you receive.

How to Finish Enrollment

After you enroll and save your benefit choices, you have a few more steps to take to finish your enrollment, depending on the benefits you elected:

  • Verify Dependents for Medical and/or Dental Coverage
    Starting the day after you’ve enrolled and saved your benefit choices, you have 30 days to provide required documents verifying any new dependents you want to cover for medical and/or dental insurance. Go to the Jabil Benefits Service Center or the bswift mobile app > Common Actions > Upload Documentation. Then select the document type you are uploading – make sure it’s labeled correctly so it can be easily identified and approved. Or you can mail copies of documentation (NOT originals) to Jabil Benefits Service Center, Attn: Dependent Verification, P.O. Box 804057, Chicago, IL 60680.

If you do not submit the documentation by the deadline and/or it’s not approved, your new dependents will not have coverage.

  • Register and Verify Your Account for Healthy Plus with HSA
    • Watch for an email from WEX, Jabil’s HSA administrator, as you may need to verify your identity (like you do with any bank account). Check your spam/junk/clutter.
    • Register with WEX, and accept the terms and conditions for access to your HSA and to receive Jabil’s contributions to your account.
    • If you make a change to your HSA contributions and enrollment during the year, the change will be effective on the first day of the following month. (For example, if you make a change on February 15, the change will be effective March 1.)
  • Provide Statement of Health if You Enrolled in Supplemental Life Insurance Coverage
    • If you chose more than $400,000 of coverage for yourself and/or more than $35,000 for your spouse, you will need to show proof of good health before you’re approved for coverage.
    • If you didn’t submit your SOH when you enrolled, click on the MetLife Statement of Health link through bswift within 30 days from the date you submitted your enrollment to complete the form.
  • Choose Your Beneficiaries

Paying for Coverage

If you elect benefits that require an employee contribution (e.g., medical coverage), your payroll deductions begin the first pay date following your benefits effective date. Any missed payroll deductions or adjustments will be automatically calculated by bswift. The only exception is Pet Insurance; you pay MetLife directly for that coverage.

If You Don’t Enroll Before Your Benefits Effective Date

You must enroll if you want benefits coverage. If you don’t enroll before your effective date of coverage:

  • Jabil only provides you with short-term disability (STD), long-term disability (LTD), and Basic Life and Accidental Death and Dismemberment (AD&D) Insurance coverage. For the long-term disability benefit, you’ll pay taxes on the premium Jabil pays.
  • You won’t have medical (including pharmacy), FSA, HSA, dental, vision, Supplemental Life or voluntary benefits coverage.

Changing Coverage During the Year

You may change coverage during the year only if you experience a qualifying life event such as birth, marriage, or divorce. You have 30 days from the date of the event to make your change, and the change must be consistent with your life event. Otherwise, your next opportunity to enroll will be the next annual open enrollment period. Contact the Jabil Benefits Service Center to start the process.
