New full-time employees will receive benefit information on the day of their new hire orientation. Each new employee is responsible for enrolling or waiving benefits within 30 days of their "start date' not hire date. Failure to do so could leave the employee and their dependent/s without insurance coverage for the current plan year (September 1, 2023 - August 31, 2024).  Once Human Capital has completed the employee's employment profile, a benefit profile will be created and an email will be sent to the employee with instructions on how to elect their initial benefits. 

All new hires are required to elect their initial benefits with Mr. Cody Tarver the Account Manager with our third party administrator, First Financial Group of America (FFGA). After you have received the New Hire Benefit Enorllment email and happen to miss a call or email from Mr. Tarver, he can be reached at cody.tarver@ffga.com or 903-258-4728. Although employees may see instructions on how to log into FFGA in the supplemental benefit book, initial benefits are required to be elected through Mr. Cody Tarver. The system is not set up to accept self-enrolled benefits for new hires. 

Once benefits are elected, the commitment to those elections is for the full benefit plan year.  Changes to benefits can only be made during the next Open Enrollment or when a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) occurs.  Participation in the healthcare benefits will be effective on either 1.) the first of the month following the first active day of employment or  2.) the employee's first active day of employment however, only upon request when electing benefits (premiums are not prorated).  Most supplemental insurance benefits will be effective on the first of the month following the first active day of employment.
