How to Enroll

Once you login to SEBB My Account, you can follow the step-by-step tool at the top of the page to guide you through the enrollment process. The four steps are: 

1. Add your dependents. Enter your dependents’ information. If you are not adding dependents, you can skip to step 3.
   

2. Verify your dependents. Your documents must be verified and approved before your dependents can enroll under your coverage. Upload documents from your computer or mobile device to verify your dependents’ eligibility. A list of documents is available here: https://www.hca.wa.gov/employee-retiree-benefits/school-employees/dependent-verification
   
   If you are unable to upload documents online, you can submit paper documents to the payroll office. HCA may audit dependent eligibility determinations. Please make sure to keep the documents you submitted. 
   

3. Attest to the premium surcharges. Answer a series of on-screen questions to determine whether you’ll be charged the monthly $25-per-account tobacco use premium surcharge and, if applicable, the monthly $50 spouse or state-registered domestic partner coverage premium surcharge.
   

4. Select your plans. You can follow a link to ALEX, the online benefits advisor, to learn more about which plans might be the best fit for you. When you’re ready, select your plans in SEBB My Account by checking the box next to the medical, dental, and vision plans you want for you and any dependents you want to enroll.
   
   If you have other employer-based medical coverage, TRICARE, or Medicare, you can waive SEBB medical coverage.  

What information do I need to enroll dependents?

For your spouse, state-registered domestic partner, or any children, you will need:

• Name

• Date of birth

• Social Security number

• Verification documents
  A list of acceptable documents is available in SEBB My Account, as well as at https://www.hca.wa.gov/employee-retiree-benefits/school-employees/dependent-verification and in your enrollment guide.
  If you don't provide verification documents by November 15th, you dependents will not be enrolled and you will not be able to enroll them until the next open enrollment unless you have a special open enrollment
  event that allows the change.
