What documentation can I submit to prove a Qualifying Life Event (QLE)?

When you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), you may be allowed to change your insurance coverage mid plan year. When you report your QLE (a.k.a let us know about it), we may ask you to submit documentation that proves you experienced the QLE (depending on your employer’s requirements).

The table below shows what types of documentation you can submit as proof for different types of QLEs. If multiple types of documents are listed, you only need to submit one type of document from the list.
