Changing your benefits

Changing your benefits

You can only make changes to certain pre-tax benefits (see below) during the year if you experience a Qualifying Event based on Internal Revenue Code (IRC) regulations and as defined in the GXO Benefits Plan Summary Plan Description (SPD). If you experience a Qualifying Event during the year, you can make changes appropriate for the type of life event within 30 days of the event date. Visit myGXO Portal > Your Benefits or call the GXO Benefit Center to make changes or access your GXO SPD.

Pre-tax benefits

Under IRC Section 125, your contributions for the following benefits are deducted from your pay on a pre-tax basis. Because of the tax advantage, you can only make changes during the year due to a Qualifying Event. (There are other pre-tax benefits that you can change anytime, such as HSA and 401(k) contributions.)

  • Medical Benefits
  • Dental Benefits
  • Vision Benefits
  • Short-Term Disability Buy-Up
  • Health Care Flexible Spending Account
  • Dependent Day Care Flexible Spending Account
  • Commuter Spending Account

Post-tax benefits

You can make changes to your post-tax benefits at any time during the year since your contributions for these benefits are deducted from your pay after taxes are calculated. Post-tax benefits include:

  • Supplemental Life Insurance for yourself, your spouse and children
  • Supplemental Accidental Death and Personal Loss Insurance for yourself, your spouse and children
  • Long-Term Disability Buy-Up

Please keep in mind that changes to the post-tax benefits listed above may require Evidence of Insurability (EOI).
