Changing Elections

Changing Your Benefit Elections

Each year during Open Enrollment you will have the opportunity to review the benefits offered by the Company to decide which plans best fit your needs for the coming year. During Open Enrollment you will be allowed the opportunity to:

• Enroll on any of the plans for the first time
• Change between plan offerings
• Add or delete coverage
• Add or delete dependent coverage
• Increase or decrease your FSA elections

Qualified family status change

Once your benefit elections have been made, you cannot make changes during the plan year unless you experience a Qualified Family Status Change, also known as a change in life status. Qualified Family Status Changes include, but are not limited to:

• Marriage, legal separation or divorce
• Birth or adoption of a dependent child or a change in child custody
• Your child no longer meets the benefit plan’s eligibility requirements
• Change in your employment status or your spouse’s employment status that affects benefits coverage
• Loss of other group benefit coverage

If you experience a Qualified Family Status Change, and would like to request a change in your benefit elections, you must notify Human Resources within 30 days from the date of the Status Change and provide the appropriate documentation.
