If you are new to ACBL, welcome to the team! We look forward to helping you Make an IMPACT with ACBL! Below are questions we frequently receive from Team Members and hope these help you get the most out of your benefits with ACBL.
If you have a question that is not answered below, please let us know! We would be happy to help with any questions you may have!
“How long do I have to elect benefits as a new Team Member?”
Team Members have 30 days from their hire date to complete their enrollment. If the enrollment is not completed by the end of the 30-day window, the Team Member will automatically be enrolled in Basic Medical and the $50 per month Tobacco Surcharge.
You also have the opportunity to sign up for 401k! This can be completed at the Principal website or through the Principal mobile app. If you do not want to participate in 401k, you must complete the 401k enrollment and set the contribution rate to 0% or call Principal at 800-547-7754. Otherwise, you will be automatically enrolled in 401k at a Pre-Tax rate of 3% of eligible earnings. Click here to learn how to sign up with Principal!

“When will my benefits become active?”
Benefits become active after 30 days of employment with ACBL. If you have dependents you wish to enroll in benefits, be sure to provide ACBL Benefits with your Marriage Certificate for your Spouse or Birth Certificate for your child(ren). If we do not receive these documents after you complete your enrollment, your dependents will not have coverage.
“What if I do not want any benefits with ACBL?“
If you do not want to be enrolled in benefits through ACBL, you must complete your New Hire enrollment before the deadline and decline the medical benefit. If you do not complete the enrollment by the deadline, you will automatically be enrolled in Basic Medical with the $50 per month Tobacco Surcharge.
“When will ID Cards arrive?”
Only certain benefits have ID cards, however they will typically arrive within 7-10 business days after the coverage has become active. Be sure to check out the Mobile Apps page if you have a smartphone! Many of the apps can be used as ID cards and can help you get the most out of your benefits with ACBL.
