eBenefits allows you to view your enrollment in University benefits
including Health and Dental coverage, Life Insurance, Long Term
Disability, Retirement/Savings plans, Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
annual election, and more.
To access eBenefits:
- log on to the Campus Information System at https://gate.acs.utah.edu
- under the employee tab, click on Benefits Information (located in
the My Human Resources/Payroll box.)
When you click on Benefits Summary you will see a list of all the
benefit plans you are enrolled in. To see more detail regarding
enrollment in each plan, click on the Benefit Plan name. For
information regarding plan details and coverage, please refer to our
website at www.hr.utah.edu/ben/ and click
on the appropriate Benefit Program (Standard or HPP).
Beneficiary Designation
When you view plans where you may designate beneficiaries (such as
Life Insurance), you will see a list of dependents on record in
PeopleSoft. Because this is a list of all dependents that have been
entered during your employment with the University, some may or may not
be current. You may choose which listed dependents will be your
beneficiaries or designate new beneficiaries, and designate the
percentage of payment your beneficiaries receive in the event of your
death. If you do not indicate a percentage for a dependent, that
dependent will not be considered a beneficiary for that plan. You must
designate at least one Primary Beneficiary with 100% allocation.
Beneficiary designations you made at the time you enrolled and any
subsequent Beneficiary Change Forms are on file in the Benefits
Department and will be considered your designation until you make a new
designation through eBenefits or with a paper Beneficiary Change Form.
To learn how to add/update your beneficiary information through
eBenefits please read the Beneficiary
Designation Instruction Sheet . If you prefer to change your
beneficiaries with a paper form please fill out and submit the Beneficiary Change
Form to the Benefits Department. You may bring or mail it to
our office at 420 Wakara Way, Ste. 105, Salt Lake City, UT 84108, or
fax it to 585-7375.
PLEASE NOTE: Beneficiaries for retirement plans are maintained independently by each retirement plan company. Visit the University's Retirement Plans web page for information and links to beneficiary change forms for each company.
