Newly eligible employees process their own benefit enrollments electronically via Employee Self
Service (ESS). You are allowed access to ESS once your employee number and USERID have been
established. For newly eligible employees, typically, this is on your second day of hire.
Before you begin: Print off detailed instructions on how to process your benefit enrollments in ESS.
Log into the Horizon's portal and click on Dow Corning & Me --> Manage My Compensation &
Benefits --> View Life Event Instructions --> ESS Enrollment.
Note: Once you select your benefit enrollment choices in ESS you must complete and or make
changes to your benefit enrollments within the SAME calendar day. If after that calendar day,
you would need to contact the HRSC to request additional changes to your benefits.

Note: Optional Life Insurance coverage and Dependent Life Insurance coverage requires Evidence of
Insurability (EOI) for certain amounts of coverage (see specific EOI details on the life insurance page of
this booklet). The system will indicate EOI is required for any amount of coverage and lock your
record. The HR Service Center will unlock any records that do not require EOI. If the record is locked
because the level of coverage does require EOI, the HR Service Center will mail the EOI form to your
interoffice mail address.
