Calm Benefit Frequently Asked Questions:

Accessing the Calm Benefit

I signed up for Calm but am prompted to pay in the Calm app or the Premium content is locked?

Confirm you visited your company’s unique Calm sign-up link on a web browser and activated the Calm benefit there, using your unique identifier (work email address, employee ID, etc.). You will also need to be logged in to the Calm app with the same Calm account credentials you used when activating the benefit through the unique Calm sign-up link.

I received an “Oops! Something went wrong” error message while trying to redeem my Calm benefit?

Please ensure that the unique identifier you are using to activate your Calm benefit matches with what is included on your company’s Eligibility File. We recommend checking for any typos or extra spaces included at the beginning or end of the email address or employee ID on file.
