Important reasons to review SSN information in Benefitfocus

For several reasons, employees are asked to review their social security number (SSN) along with those of their dependents in Benefitfocus and make any corrections that are needed.

  • If your SSN is incorrect, your social security tax payments won’t get credited to you.
  • The Affordable Care Act (aka Health Care Reform) requires employers to send dependent social security numbers (SSN) for those covered on a Purdue medical plan to the IRS, along with the dependent’s medical plan election. If your dependent does not have an SSN to enter, you may disregard this message.
  • In order to get reimbursed from your health reimbursement arrangement (HRA) for eligible expenses incurred by your dependents, HSA Bank must have a valid SSN on file.
  • For dependents to utilize Rx Savings Solutions, they must have their SSN on file.

To access Benefitfocus, use the OneCampus Portal. Find the “Benefit Enrollment – Active link” and click it to log into Benefitfocus.

Once logged into Benefitfocus, click the gold button “To Enroll, Make a Change, and View Your Benefits CLICK HERE.”  In the menu on the left, click Dependents.  Under Actions, click Edit next to your dependent’s name. Review the SSN for that dependent for accuracy. If you need to make a change, click Show and Edit just beneath the number to enter a new number, then click the black Save box at the bottom of the page.  If no change is needed, click Cancel at the bottom of the page. Please be sure to do this for any dependents (spouse and children) whom you covered at any time to date in 2020.
