QUALIFYING LIFE EVENT
Employees have an enrollment period of 30 days after they experience a Qualifying Life Event to make additions, changes or deletions to their benefits plans. If you do not complete the process in that time period, you are required to wait until our Open Enrollment which is held in October each year.
Qualifying Life Event examples include:
● Marriage
● Birth or adoption of an eligible dependent
● Divorce
● Ineligibility of a current dependent due to age or marriage
● Loss of coverage
The following documents must be presented to the Human Resources department, depending on the circumstances:
Benefit plan Selection Sheets and Enrollment Forms with updates
Documentation of marriage, birth certificate or formal court order
Loss of Coverage: A verification letter from the carrier/employer which includes the name of the covered individual(s), coverage type (medical and/or dental), and the date the coverage will end or has ended
Dependent Eligibility Verification Requirements are reviewed and met
