Life Events

Changes are bound to happen in your work or personal life throughout the year. As a result, you may need to change your benefits elections outside of the County’s Annual Open Enrollment period. The Internal Revenue Services (IRS) allows you to make changes throughout the year for qualifying “change in status” events. Please refer to the Qualifying Status Changes page for more information.

Note: In most cases, you must contact the EBC within a specified timeframe to be eligible to make changes to your benefits. If you do not contact the EBC within the applicable 30-day or 60-day timeframe, you will not be able to change your benefit elections until the County’s next Annual Open Enrollment period or you may lose eligibility for some coverage.
