Once enrolled, you can make mid-year changes to your benefits during the plan year only within 30 days of a change in life status (qualified life event). Note: The mid-year changes you are eligible to make depend on the type of life-status change you have experienced. If you miss this 30-day deadline, you will not be able to enroll yourself or your dependents until the next annual enrollment window. Qualified life events include:
- You marry or divorce.
- You or your spouse give birth or adopt a child.
- Your spouse has a change in employment status, causing gain or loss of coverage for you or your dependents.
- You lose your current coverage under a different plan.
- Your spouse or a dependent dies.
- Your dependent child is no longer eligible or is newly eligible0
If such a change occurs, you must make the changes to your benefits within 30 days of the Qualifying event date. Documentation may be required to verify your change of status. Failure to request a change of status within 30 days of the qualifying event may result in your having to wait until the next open enrollment period to make your change; this includes the enrollment of a newborn child. Please contact Human Resources to make these changes
To make a change to your benefits following a qualified life event, contact Human Resources within 30 days of the date of the event to begin the process.
