Enroll in Benefits

You’re in the right place to review current elections, enroll, change or decline benefits. See below for details.

Life Events

If you have a life event such as marriage or the birth of a child, you have 30 days from the date of your life event to make changes to your benefit elections. If you miss your 30-day window, you will need to wait until Benefits Open Enrollment to make changes.

For a handy list of things you need to do before, during and after a specific type of life event, check out Health Care > Life Event Changes. If you have questions, contact the Employee Service Center at 1-800-999-4734 or hrhr@rei.com.

Are you a New Hire or Newly Eligible for Benefits?

The system will walk you through your options. Be sure to have Social Security numbers on hand for your family members if you plan to enroll them for health coverage.
When you’re ready, submit your choices and print your confirmation statement.
