WHO IS AN ELIGIBLE DEPENDENT?

WHEN YOU CAN ENROLL IN BENEFITS:
• During your initial new hire eligibility period • During the annual Open Enrollment period for a June 1st effective date
If you fail to enroll within the time frame given for the new hire eligibility or annual enrollment window, you will not be able to elect benefits again until the next Open Enrollment period, and you will not have coverage, unless you experience a qualified life event. Please make your elections on time, or you may experience a delay in using your benefits.
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS are events that cause an individual to lose his or her group health coverage. The type of qualifying event determines who the qualified beneficiaries are for that event and the period of time that a plan must offer continuation of coverage. Qualifying Life events include: • Marriage, divorce, or legal separation • Death of spouse or other dependent • Birth or adoption of a child • You or your spouse experience a work event that effects your benefits • A dependent’s eligibility status changes due to age, student status, marital status, or employment • Relocation into or outside of your plan’s service area You must notify Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying life event. Depending on the type of event, you may be asked to provide proof of the event. If you do not contact Human Resources within 30 days of the qualifying event, you will have to wait until the next annual enrollment period to make changes.
