Birth of a Child Qualifying Life Event
The Birth of a Child is a qualifying life event that would allow you to enroll or make changes to your benefit elections with MAA. You will need to provide supporting documentation, such as a copy of the verification of birth/birth certificate, and you have 30 days from the date of this life event to submit the change in Workday. Otherwise, you will have to wait until the next annual open enrollment period, which is typically held November 1 st – 15 th for benefits effective January 1 st of the upcoming plan year. If you miss any pay periods that occur after your coverage begin date (event date), you will have to make up any premiums missed on the next pay period.
