Experiencing a Qualifying Life Event during the plan year?

If you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) during the calendar year, you can change your benefits. Qualified family status changes allow you to add or drop dependents or change your level of coverage. Most common QLEs are:

• Marriage, divorce, or legal separation
• Gain or loss of an eligible dependent for reasons such as birth, adoption, court order, disability, death, marriage, or dependent child turning 26
• Changes in your spouse’s employment resulting in loss or gain of coverage
• Changes in your spouse’s benefit coverage with another employer that affects benefit eligibility
• Moving in or out of a different state
