A Qualified Life Event is a significant change in your life that may allow you to modify your health benefits outside of the regular enrollment period. These events are typically life milestones that may affect your health coverage needs.
Examples of Qualified Life Events include marriage, divorce, birth or adoption, death of dependent, loss or gain of health coverage, or a change in employment status.
If you’ve experienced a Qualified Life Event, you must report the event within 31 days after the life event by calling the Benefits Service Center at 888.850.1767 or submitting the event in your benefits portal. Keep in mind, you will be required to provide documentation to support your Qualified Life Event, such as a copy of a marriage certificate, birth certificate or divorce decree.
Important: Do not wait until you receive the documentation to report your Qualified Life Event.
