Life Changes for Retirees
When you experience a life event, there are potential benefits available to you and a possible opportunity to make changes. The following qualifying life events may allow you to add and/or drop you, your spouse, and/or child(ren) to coverage within the first 31 days of the event.
- Marriage
- Children (age of child)
- Employment changes
- Moving (out of service area)
- Medicare
- Medicaid, HIPP and Chip
- Divorce / Court orders for health coverage
- Death
Timing is everything for coverage changes
If changes are not made within 31 days of the event, you will need to wait until the next enrollment period.
- Confirm that you have a qualifying life event (see above).
- Identify and use the correct reason for the change when making changes to your account.
- Complete a Dependent Child Certification Form if adding a dependent child.
