What Is A Life Change Event
Usually, employees are not permitted to make changes to their benefits enrollment or plans during the plan year. They must save changes for the open enrollment period in September. However, qualifying life events may permit you to make changes to your plan mid-year. These events include:
- Birth or Adoption
- Change In Spouse's Employment Status
- Death of Spouse/Dependent
- Divorce
- Marriage
- Initial Onboarding
- Promotion to Full-Time from Part-Time
- Loss of Coverage Due to BJI Eligibility Terms
- Termination of Employment
