State of Florida

This website was created exclusively for members of the State of Florida. It will be available year round to answer any questions you might have about voluntary benefit options through Colonial Life.

How to Enroll

  1. Complete the enrollment process online through the People First enrollment site or complete an election form and mail or fax it to People First.
  2. Meet with a Colonial Life benefit counselor as a Colonial Life application may be required.

The People First enrollment website communicates the pre-tax deductions only. Check your paystub before enrolling to see what coverage you already have in place.

You may elect to purchase coverage as part of the State of Florida Flexible Benefits Plan. Your Flexible Benefit Plan elections will remain in effect and cannot be revoked or changed during the Plan Year unless the revocation and new election are on account of and consistent with a qualified status change.

It is in your best interest to meet with a Colonial life benefits counselor to ensure you understand all relevant factors related to your insurance decisions.

To learn more about post-tax benefits that may be available through your Agency all year long, contact a Colonial Life benefits counselor at 888.756.6701 or use our Information Request Form.

If you already have a Colonial Life policy and have a question regarding your policy, contact the Colonial Life Service Center at 1-800-325-4368 or your local benefits counselor.
