Life Changes
Once enrolled, you can make mid-year changes to your benefits within 30 days of a change in life status (qualified life event).
Note: The mid-year changes you are eligible to make depend on the type of life status change you have experienced. If you miss this 30-day deadline, you will not be able to enroll yourself or your dependents until the next annual enrollment window.
Qualified life event changes will be effective on the date of notification of the qualified life event, except for the birth or adoption of a child, which will be effective on the date of the event.
To make a change to your benefits following a qualified life event, visit the Employee Self Service page, click on the Benefits Enrollment (bswift tile), then Birth, Marriage or Other Life Event tile.
