Change Your Benefits
Change Your Benefits
During your employment, you may update or change your benefits when you experience a life event or during the annual open enrollment period.
Life Events
An experience that changes a person's family or work status. In such circumstances, you may change health care plans and add or drop eligible dependents from coverage within 31 days after the event occurred.
Use the graphic to the right to learn more about each life event and how to make benefits changes.
31 Day Deadline
When you experience a qualified life event, you have 31 days from the date of the event to make changes to your benefits. If you miss the 31 day deadline, you will need to wait until the annual open enrollment period, which occurs in late fall, or experience another qualified life event to make changes.
We cannot process a future event, meaning you need to wait until the event happens first, then you have 31 days to request the change.
Open Enrollment
Open enrollment is the annual opportunity for employees and retirees to change health care plans and to add or drop eligible dependents from coverage.
Certify Family Members
Review the documentation needed to certify your family members' eligibility for benefits.
