# Benefit enrollment

A benefit enrollment is one worker's run through an [event](/reference/benefit-events/object) —
the workflow that tracks their progress from "not started" through "submitted"
and produces their [elections](/reference/benefit-elections/object). It's the
container: the elections are the choices it yields. There is one enrollment per
worker per event.

### Lifecycle

An enrollment moves through these statuses:

| Status        | Meaning                                                          |
| ------------- | ---------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `not_started` | The window is open for the worker; no choices made yet.          |
| `in_progress` | The worker has begun making choices.                             |
| `submitted`   | The worker has submitted their choices; coverage is finalized.   |
| `completed`   | The run is complete — a decision exists for every eligible plan. |
| `waived`      | The worker declined coverage entirely.                           |
| `cancelled`   | The run was cancelled.                                           |
