How To: Make Changes to Your Benefits
In order to make changes to your benefits during the plan year, you must experience a qualified change in status. Changes in Status established by Section 125 of the Internal Revenue Code and/or the A&M System are:
- Employee’s marriage, divorce (annulment) or death of employee’s spouse
- Birth, adoption or death of a dependent child(ren)
- Child becoming ineligible for coverage due to reaching age 25 or marrying
- Change in employee’s, spouse’s or dependent child’s residence that would affect eligibility for coverage
- Employee’s receipt of a qualified medical child support order or letter from the Attorney General ordering the employee to provide (or allow the employee to drop) medical coverage for a child
- Changes made by a spouse or dependent child during his/her employer’s annual enrollment period
- The employee, spouse or dependent child becoming eligible or ineligible for Medicare or Medicaid; this includes dependent children losing eligibility for CHIP
- Significant employer-initiated changes in or cancellation of the employee’s, spouse’s or dependent child’s coverage
- Change in day care cost due to a change in provider, change in provider’s fees (if the provider is not a relative) or change in number of hours the child needs care (for Dependent Day Care Spending Accounts)
If you have experienced a Change in Status and wish to make changes to your insurance coverage(s), you have 60 days from the date of the Change in Status to submit the appropriate forms to the Human Resources Office. If you have not experienced a Change in Status, you must wait until the next Annual Enrollment period to make changes.
