Statewide Personnel System (SPS)

• Statewide Personnel System (SPS): 

The is used to manage the State of Maryland health benefit plans. All new hires and active employees use the system to view, enroll, change, or cancel coverage.

Employees have one username (W#) assigned to them for their entire employment history with the State of Maryland. The same number is assigned to the employee even if the employing agency (example: MDOT to ECI) changes during the course of State of Maryland employment.

Employees have 60 days from their event to make benefit election changes. When adding a new dependent, you will need to upload a copy of the official documentation of the relationship into SPS as part of the election process. For a list of documents, please refer to the “Enrolling Eligible Dependents” section of the . The Employee Benefits Division (EBD) will review each document to ensure it is an acceptable document and communicate with the employee through the SPS email if an adjustment needs to be completed.

EBD communicates with employees through their work email and the SPS inbox. While you have an active event, these two inboxes will need to be monitored for communication from EBD. If the requested adjustments are not completed and the event finalized within the 60-day period, then the event will be canceled.
