Your health insurance benefits package includes excellent coverage for you and your dependents (spouse and children) at no additional cost! But you do need to enroll.
To enroll yourself for the first time, re-enroll after an employment gap of more than 5 months, or add or remove dependents, follow the steps below!
Enrolment Process
Online Enrollment
Online enrollment is available at this link, just log in with your employee Passport York account (not the same as your student account!) and follow the instructions.
Hard Copy Enrollment
You can also complete the Benefit Enrolment form (linked here in PDF format, also linked in Word format).
The form and dependent information, if applicable, must be printed, signed, and scanned to askpb@yorku.ca.
You can email the form to the Pension & Benefits office even if you do not have your employee number yet (This number is located on your pay-stub, at the top, and it is 9 digits starting with the number “1″).
Don’t forget to provide documents proving your relationship to your dependents, if you are enrolling any. Acceptable proof of relationship documentation is listed on the second page of the application form.
If you have any questions please email askpb@yorku.ca.
Next Steps
It typically takes 1 to 2 weeks for enrollment in the Sun Life plan system
You may receive a drug card approximately four to six weeks after you submit your form. You can also download and print a card via sunlife.ca. You can start making claims as soon as you confirm eligibility; you do not have to wait for the card. You just need the plan number (014098) and your benefits ID (employee ID)
Be sure to check with Sun Life insurance two weeks after submitting the enrollment form to see if you are registered in their system.
