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:

Important: You must complete and deliver the applicable forms to the SMU Department of Human Resources - Benefits within 31 days of the event.  Due to the tax-favored status of SMU's benefits program, the IRS does not allow changes after this 31 day period until the next annual open enrollment.
