Changing Your Benefits
QUALIFYING LIFE EVENTS Qualifying Life Events allow you to make changes to your benefit elections during the Plan year. The requested change must be consistent with the event. For example, if your spouse/domestic partner and/or dependent children lose coverage under their employer’s medical plan, you can add them to your medical plan. The change in coverage will be effective retroactive to the Qualifying Life Event date, and you must provide proof consistent with the event. In the example above, if your spouse/domestic partner loses coverage under their employer’s medical plan, you would need to provide proof of the loss of coverage as well as eligibility documentation for any newly added dependents.
To make a change to your benefit elections due to a Qualifying Life Event, go to www.benefitenroll.com or call the Reliance Rewards Call Center at 855-777-9273.
