Life Events

If you have a life change, such as getting married or having a baby, you should make sure your benefit coverage continues to match your needs. In most cases, you cannot change your benefit elections until the next annual Open Enrollment period. If the event occurs during the year, special rules apply to changing coverage.

You may change your elections during the year if you experience one of the following qualified life event changes:

Birth or Adoption
Events that change the number of your eligible dependents, including birth, adoption, foster care, placement for adoption or death of a dependent

Marriage
Events that change your legal marital status

Divorce or Legal Separation
Events that change your legal marital status, including divorce, legal separation (according to state law) or annulment

Dependent Eligibility

  • Dependent gained coverage through their employment

  • Dependent lost coverage through their employment

  • Dependent is eligible for State Premium Assistance Subsidy from Medicaid or SCHIP

  • Dependent lost Medicaid or SCHIP coverage

  • Dependent disability status change

Death of Dependent
