Qualifying Status Change
Benefit changes can be made only during the annual open enrollment period. Certain changes can be made if you have a qualifying status change event, for example:
- Marriage or divorce
- Death of a spouse or dependent
- Birth or adoption or legal guardianship of a dependent
- Change from part-time to full-time employment or vice versa for you or your spouse
- Change in health coverage attributable to your spouse's employment
- Spouse's employment or termination of employment
Benefit changes must be:
- Made within 31 days of the event (60 days for a death, or a birth or adoption). Documentation supporting the qualifying status change event will be required within 60 days.
- Consistent with the qualifying status change.
If you have incurred a qualifying status change event in the last 31 calendar days and you wish to make a change to your benefits, complete the appropriate enrollment form/forms and submit them to the Office of Human Resources. You may also contact the Office of Human Resources at (904) 620-2903 and meet with a benefit coordinator to discuss your qualifying status change.
