# My Benefits

> Employee self-service dashboard for viewing current benefit enrollments, costs, dependents, and open enrollment status.

The My Benefits page, at route `/hr/my-benefits`, is the employee self-service dashboard for benefits management.

## Overview

The dashboard shows summary statistics including employee and employer monthly contribution totals and total covered dependents. An open enrollment banner appears when an active enrollment period exists. A life event banner prompts the user to report qualifying life changes. Active and pending enrollments are grouped by plan type and displayed as `EnrollmentSummaryCard` components. Quick links lead to `/hr/my-benefits/enroll`, `/hr/my-benefits/dependents`, `/hr/my-benefits/statement`, and benefits guides. A `LifeEventRequestDialog` can be triggered from the banner.

## Who it's for

Access follows your organization's role and module configuration. ## Before you start
