Evidence of Insurability (EOI)

Evidence of insurability (EOI) is used to determine eligibility for coverage. You don’t need to submit EOI to enroll in disability coverage within 31 days of your hire date.

After this 31-day period, you can apply for coverage during Summer Enrollment or within 31 days of an applicable qualifying life event (QLE). To apply, you will need to provide EOI. Please view the EOI submittal instructions (115k) for more information. Your application must be approved before your coverage starts.
