Qualified Life Change Events
Once you have made your benefits selections, you generally can't change them during the plan year. However, you may make certain changes if you have a Qualified Life Change Event - a change in family or employment status that allows you to make certain benefits changes outside an annual open enrollment period. Qualified events include:
- Change in Marital Status
- Birth, Adoption and Legal Guardianship
-
Death of Spouse or Enrolled Dependent
- Loss of Dependent Eligibility
- Due to age, student status, marriage, or full-time employment
- Change in Employment Status
- New job, loss of job, change in hours - employee or spouse/domestic partner
