Enhanced New Hire/Rehire Event on Employee Benefits Website

As part of the ongoing initiative to enhance your NRECA Employee Benefits website experience and streamline online benefit plan administration, an improved new hire/rehire event is now available. The event will make enrolling a new employee or rehired employee in your cooperative’s benefit programs through the Employee Benefits website easier than ever.

The event guides you through a modernized, streamlined process going from up to 28 screens down to just five. And you’ll be able to track your progress to completion. If you need to stop, you can always save your work and return to it when convenient. The event features updated job classifications and gives you the ability to provide a job title or request a new classification. The event facilitates reporting of beneficiaries for both group insurance and retirement plans in one step and will guide you through plan selections, including the Retirement Security Plan if applicable.

As part of ongoing efforts to better protect participant benefits data, employee email addresses will no longer be collected within the new hire/rehire event. Instead, employees should be encouraged to go to cooperative.com and register with a verified email address, then select a multi-factor authentication method (text message, voice call, Google Authenticator app or security question).

If you have questions about these enhancements, or enrolling new or rehired employees, please contact the Member Contact Center at 866.673.2299. Representatives are available from 7 am to 7 pm, Central time. You can also email the team at contactcenter@nreca.coop.
