What to Expect

Starting a new job is exciting! You’ll have a lot to learn and do, including enrolling in benefits.

Health & Welfare Plan

Watch for an enrollment email from the Amgen Benefits Center within two to three days from your Amgen hire date
Enroll in benefits within 31 days of your Amgen hire date if you want coverage this year; your coverage will be effective retroactive to your hire date regardless of when you actually enroll within the 31-day period
Upload dependent verification when you enroll online once prompted (i.e., birth certificate, marriage license & proof of joint ownership) for any dependents you enroll in the plans
Elect your Amgen benefits as soon as possible
- Allow one to two weeks after you enroll to be active with insurance carriers
- Once enrolled, register and set-up single sign on access (SSO) through the Amgen Benefits Center enrollment site
- Once registered, access and print medical and dental ID cards
- VSP does not issue ID cards for the vision plan; just let your provider know you have coverage through VSP

Watch for an enrollment email from the Amgen Benefits Service Center within three to five business days from your Amgen hire date
Prior to enrolling, email prior401kcontrib@amgen.com with your year-to-date 401(k) employee regular and catch-up contributions made through your prior employer to ensure you do not exceed the annual IRS limit
If you do not take any action within 30 days, you will automatically be enrolled at a 5% salary deferral
