Gaining access to other coverage is a Qualified Status Change (QSC) that gives you the opportunity to adjust your coverage in ways consistent with your change in status. This means you could decline company coverage and enroll for the newly available coverage, instead.

Any changes based on a QSC must be submitted within 31 days of the change in status. For more information, see the subsections in the plan descriptions titled "Changing Your Coverage Midyear."
