When Can I Change My Benefits?
- Annual Open Enrollment
- Change in Status, after the start of the plan year
Each year, employees will receive an instruction booklet to guide them through the online open enrollment process. Employees may request any type of change, and all changes requested at that time will become effective for the next plan year.
The Internal Revenue Service (IRS) allows certain benefit changes to be made mid-year, only as a result of a "change in status". This can include marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, death, significant change in spouse's employer's insurance coverage or eligibility, and dependent ineligibility. The event must be consistent with the request.
To request a benefit change as a result of a change in status, you must complete paperwork with Employee Benefits within 30 days
We will provide the necessary form requiring the employee's signature. The signed change form must be returned along with documentation of the change in status. This could be a copy of the marriage license, copy of the divorce papers, copy of adoption papers, or a letter from your spouse's employer. We will let you know what you need to return to us and when it is due.
