- Certain life event occurrences allow you to make changes in your benefit elections. The HIPPA Act of 1996 allows benefit elections to be revoked and new elections chosen. Any change you wish to make to your benefit elections must be consistent with your change in status and affect eligibility for coverage. An election change is "consistent" if that change is "on account of" and "corresponds with" a change in status event that affects eligibility for coverage. Example: If a change in status results in an increase or decrease in the number of an Associates' dependents who may benefit from coverage.
- If you experience a qualified status change, you will have up to 30 days from the status change to make changes to your benefit elections.
- A change in Full-time/Part-time status allows 31 days from the status change to make changes to your benefit elections.
- In the event of the birth of a child, medical coverage for that child will be effective retroactively to the date of birth once the election has been made within 30 days of the birth.
- Changes to your elections can be made by following these steps:
- Log in to "My Info" and create a Family Status Change consistent with your situation. Specifically, select Marriage, Birth/Adoption, Divorce or Family Coverage Change.
- The following day, log in to "My Info" to make changes to your benefit elections.
- The day after you make your elections, log in to "My Info" to check your Benefit Summary.
