Qualifying Life Events (QLEs)

A qualifying life event is a major life change that allows you to enroll in or modify health insurance outside of the regular open enrollment period. Some examples of qualifying life events include marriage, having a baby or adoption, or when a dependent you are currently covering under your plan gains other health insurance coverage.

Review the list of qualifying life events link and then follow along using the Quick Reference guide to help you make the changes. If you need help adding or removing a dependent, please view that link as well.
