2024 Enrollment Action Plan

Grifols provides a full range of coverage that protects you financially and helps you build a secure future. We pay for all or a majority of the cost of many of these benefits.


Your Enrollment Action Plan

  • Please read all materials and share this information with your family.
  • Enroll online through the bswift Benefits Portal.
  • If enrolling dependents, their names, birth dates and Social Security numbers are required.
  • Gather and submit dependent verification documentation for all new dependents.
  • Approve your elections, print and review your benefits summary, and keep a copy for your records.
  • Complete Evidence of Insurability (EOI) if requested by the vendor.


Enrollment Periods


New Hires during the Year

You must enroll in Grifols benefits before your enrollment deadline shown on your home page on the bswift Benefits Portal. If you do not enroll, you will waive coverage for your employee elected benefits for 2024.


All benefit elections made during the New Hire enrollment period will go into effect on the effective date listed in your new hire package and on the bswift Benefits Portal.


Open Enrollment

Employees have the ability once a year to enroll in or make changes to their Benefit plan elections. This is during the Open Enrollment period, which is held each year during the 4th quarter. Enrollments made during Open Enrollment are effective the following January 1st. Elections may not be changed mid-year unless you experience a qualifying life event.


Mid-Year Qualifying Life Events

It is very important to make your choices carefully. You will not be able to make any changes to your benefit coverage elections during the calendar year, unless you or your dependents experience a qualifying life event. Some examples include marriage, divorce, birth/adoption. Any change that you make to your coverage must be consistent with the change in status.


You must report any life events within 31 days of the event, or you will have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period. To report a life event, log into the bswift Benefits Portal and select the appropriate life event. To access the Benefits Portal from the Cosmos portal, go to Tools, select Personal Area, scroll down to the Compensation & Benefits area and select the Benefits option.


Once you have submitted dependent verification and it has been approved, births, adoptions and placements will be effective on date of event. All other life events will be effective the 1st of month following date of document submission. If submission is on the 1st, life event will be effective on the 1st.
