Life Events

Changing Benefits Outside of Open Enrollment

It is your responsibility to notify Human Resources within 60 days (30 days for Kaiser & HMSA) of the event if you experience a qualifying event to make changes to your coverage.

Examples include, but are not limited to, the following:

  • Marriage, divorce or legal separation
  • Birth or adoption of a child
  • Change in eligibility or employment status
  • Loss of other health coverage

If the team member makes changes to their benefit elections, the change will be effective 1st of the month following the qualifying event.

You may be required to provide supporting documentation, such as a marriage certificate or birth certificate, to verify dependent eligibility.
