Eligible Change in Status
The benefits you choose at Annual Enrollment remain in effect for the entire plan year unless you have an eligible change in status such as:
- marriage or divorce
- death of a covered eligible dependent
- birth or adoption of a child
- change in job status for your spouse
Within 60 calendar days of an eligible change in status, you may:
- change current benefit options, where eligible, or
- change current coverage levels, or
- add or drop eligible dependents to/from coverage
Pensioners must add dependent(s) before the 60-day deadline. Pensioner dependents cannot be added later, even during Annual Enrollment.
