When an employee has a life change

First, determine if your employee or their dependent is eligible to enroll through special enrollment.

When your employee experiences a “qualifying event,” such as adoption or marriage, they gain the opportunity to enroll in coverage outside of the annual open enrollment period. This is called special enrollment. In addition to having a qualifying event, employees and dependents must meet different eligibility requirements. It’s a good idea to make sure all the eligibility boxes check off before moving forward.

Your eligible employee or their dependent will need to complete, sign and date an Enrollment Application from one of our approved enrollment forms.

Find details in your Group Administration Manual under the “Enrollment” section.

Let us know in writing about any changes to an employee’s enrollment within 30 days of the qualifying event date.
