About Benefits

Regularly employed Georgia Southern University staff working at least 30 or more hours per week and full time faculty are eligible to participate in the benefits plans.

If you are a new employee, you will have 30 days from the date of employment to enroll in your benefits through the OneUSG Connect web portal. If benefits are not elected during the first 30 days of employment, an employee may enroll in benefits during the annual Open Enrollment period. Outside of Open Enrollment, no changes may be made except in the case of a qualifying Family Status Change.

Visit the University System of Georgia Website for more information on employee benefits.
