when you can enroll, terminate, or make changes to your elections without a qualifying event. All
changes, terminations and enrollment will be effective July 1st, regardless of when the form is received
in the month of July.
If you are waiving coverage, you must still complete the enrollment form in your packet and check the
waiver box for the coverage you are declining.
Contact your HR department for any changes, terminations, additions, or enrollments
outside of the Open Enrollment period within 30 days from qualifying event.
Supporting documentation will be required along with the appropriate enrollment/
change form.
