You have 30 days from the date of a qualifying event to notify Human Resources and make changes to your benefits. Otherwise, you must wait until the next annual enrollment period to make a change to your elections. In some cases, your election will become effective on the first day of the month following your request. If your change is the result of birth, adoption or placement for adoption, your election will become effective on the date of the event. If you have any questions, please contact humanresources@acu.edu or edunson@holmesmurphy.com.
Examples of Qualifying Events are as follows:
- Marriage, divorce, or legal separation
- Gain or loss of an eligible dependent for reason such as birth, adoption, placement for adoption, court order, disability, or death
- An event that causes a dependent to satisfy or cease to satisfy the eligibility requirements of the Plan, such as reaching the dependent age limits or any similar circumstance
- Changes in your spouse’s employment or benefit coverage that affect benefits eligibility
- Changes in dependent’s benefits eligibility
