Enrollment Information

Choose your benefits carefully. Contributions for Medical, Dental, Vision, and Flexible Spending Accounts are made on a pre-tax basis, and IRS regulations restrict changes to these benefits during the year unless you experience a Qualified Life Event. Examples of Qualified Life Events include:

• Marriage or divorce
• Death of a spouse or dependent
• Birth or adoption of a child
• Your spouse starting or ending employment (affecting coverage eligibility)
• A change in employment status for you or your spouse (full-time to part-time or vice versa, affecting coverage eligibility)
• Significant changes to cost or coverage
• A dependent no longer qualifying as eligible
   

To request a change, you must notify the Office of Human Resources and Institutional Equity and submit any necessary forms or documentation within 30 days of the event. The office will review your request to determine if the change is permitted, and only benefit adjustments consistent with the Qualified Life Event will be approved.
