If you're enrolling during the year because you're a newly eligible employee due to a work status change, or if you have a Qualified Status Change (QSC), you'll have 31 days from the date of the change in status to make your new choices, including adding any eligible dependents directly impacted by the QSC. You can submit your choices through the Benefits Web Center on My Health or by calling HR Answers. Please see "Changing Your Coverage Midyear."

Please Note: For a QSC, you have 31 days to add yourself or your dependent from the QSC date, except related to the birth/adoption of a child, in which case you have 90 days to add this eligible dependent (coverage will be retroactive to the date of the QSC). You will also have 90 days to add any newly eligible dependents to the Medical Plan should that dependent pass away within this 90-day period.

Related to Life and Accident Insurance, you have 90 days to add any new born/newly adopted/or first born child should they pass way within this 90-day period; please call HR Answers if this situation applies to you.)
