Provide Tobacco User Status

At Citi, we value tobacco-free living, and we give you resources to help you get (and stay) tobacco free. As part of our commitment to a tobacco-free community, we ask all of our employees to attest to their tobacco user status when enrolling in benefits. Be sure to complete the Tobacco Attestation when you enroll, regardless of your tobacco user status. If you and/or your enrolled spouse/partner use tobacco:

  • You’ll pay a $600 penalty ($1,200 if you both use tobacco products).
  • You’ll have the opportunity to receive a refund on paid penalties if you complete the Live Well Tobacco Cessation Program.
Verify Dependents

If you enrolled any dependents on your Citi benefits, you have 45 days to provide information verifying their eligibility. If you do not submit the required documentation within this timeframe, your newly added dependent’s coverage will be canceled, and any claims made to date will not be paid.

Answers to Frequently Asked Questions

Do I have to enroll in benefits? What happens if I don’t enroll or miss the enrollment deadline?

You must enroll within 31 days of your hire date to receive medical, dental and vision coverage, as well as any supplemental health coverage. You must also enroll if you wish to participate in a Health Care Spending Account (HCSA), Limited Purpose Health Care Spending Account (LPSA), Dependent Day Care Spending Account (DCSA) or the MetLife Legal Plans. If you do not enroll in health and insurance benefits within 31 days of your hire date, you will only have core benefits, which Citi provides to all employees at no cost.  

You will have another opportunity to enroll in benefits during the Annual Enrollment period, which takes place every fall. You may also make changes to your benefits if you experience certain life events — such as a marriage, divorce, new child or change in coverage under another plan — known as qualified changes in status.

Note about life and disability insurance: If you pass up your initial opportunity to enroll in Group Universal Life (GUL) coverage or decline automatic enrollment in Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage, you will need to provide evidence of insurability (proof of good health) should you decide to enroll at a later date.

How do I enroll in my health and insurance benefits?

You can enroll in your benefits either online or by phone:

  • Online: The quickest and easiest way to make your elections and add covered family members is to visit Your Benefits Resources (YBR™), available through My Total Compensation and Benefits. To enroll in Group Universal Life (GUL) and Supplemental AD&D insurance, you must do so directly with MetLife. Visit My Total Compensation and Benefits and click on “Group Universal Life” under “Want to get to our best in class vendors fast?” to connect to the MetLife MyBenefits website.
  • By phone: Alternatively, you may enroll by phone. Call the Citi Benefits Center via ConnectOne at 1 (800) 881-3938, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays. From the “benefits” menu, select the “health and insurance benefits as well as TRIP and spending accounts” option. If you’re outside the United States or Puerto Rico, call 1 (469) 220-9600. Note: All family members must be listed as a covered dependent under each individual plan. When enrolling by phone, you must ask a Citi Benefits Center representative to “cover” each dependent.
How do I enroll in the Retirement Savings Plan?

You can set your contributions and select your investment options beginning on your first day at Citi. If you do not make an election within 90 days of your hire date, Citi will automatically enroll you in the Retirement Savings Plan, and 6% of your eligible pay will be withheld from your paycheck each pay period and contributed to the Citi Retirement Savings Plan on a before-tax basis. Your contributions will be invested in target date funds, which are the Plan’s default investment option. In addition, if you are automatically enrolled, your contribution rate will increase by 1% each year until it reaches 15%. You can access your account and set, change or stop your contributions at any time through My Total Compensation and Benefits.

How do I know which health benefits are best for me?

We’re here to help you make the right choices for you and your family. The steps below can support you in making your benefit elections:

  • Carefully review your options. Get started with your benefits by reviewing all of the options available to you. Compare your medical plan options and be sure to check the networks before you enroll. You can also get help from ALEX, an independent, fun and interactive tool to help you pick the right plan. If you have access to another employer plan other than Citi’s through your spouse or partner, consider which plan provides the most value.
  • Call Health Advocate at 1 (866) 449-9933 with questions about coverage or if you’re not sure where to start.
What if I change my mind after the enrollment deadline has passed?

Once the enrollment deadline for health and insurance benefits has passed, you will have to wait until the next Annual Enrollment period to make any changes to most of your benefits. However, you may be able to make changes to your benefits when you experience certain life events – such as a marriage, divorce, new child or change in coverage under another plan – known as qualified changes in status. For Group Universal Life (GUL) coverage, Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage and the Transportation Reimbursement Incentive Program (TRIP), you can enroll, modify or cancel at any time.

Note about life and disability insurance: If you pass up your initial opportunity to enroll in Group Universal Life (GUL) coverage or decline automatic enrollment in Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage, you will need to provide evidence of insurability (proof of good health) should you decide to enroll at a later date.

Who do I call if I have questions?

If you need help enrolling or have questions about your benefits or eligibility, the Citi Benefits Center is available via ConnectOne at 1 (800) 881-3938, 8:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. ET, Monday through Friday, excluding holidays.
