Employees are encouraged to enter their benefit elections in MaineStreet Employee Self-Service.  MaineStreet Employee Self-Service, Benefits Enrollment provides employees with an easy, efficient and confidential system for enrolling in benefits in the convenience and comfort of your own home with important, decision-making information available right at your fingertips. 

Once enrolled, you will only be able to change your elections during our annual Open Enrollment period or if you experience a qualifying Life Event. Employees have a great deal of flexibility in designing their own personalized benefits package.
