Mid-Year Changes

Change is inevitable—respond accordingly when it happens

You are allowed to make mid-year changes to your benefit elections when you experience a qualifying life event, and have 31 days from the date of the life event to make changes to your elections. If you miss this deadline, you will not be able to make changes until the next annual open enrollment period.
