Change Current Enrollments
Employees may only enroll in benefits:
- when there is a "qualifying event" during the year, or
- during the annual open enrollment period.
1. Qualifying Events
In order to change benefit elections outside of the annual enrollment period, an employee must have:
- Experienced a qualifying event, as defined by the Internal Revenue Service (IRS), and
- The employee must have made a request for a change of benefits within 31 days of the applicable qualifying event.
Click here for a list of qualifying events.
2. Open Enrollment
Open Enrollment is an annual event that gives employees the opportunity to review their benefit elections and decide if they wish to make any changes. Employees have a great deal of flexibility in designing their own personalized benefits package. An Open Enrollment Kit is mailed to employees' home addresses in November of each year.
