Report Qualifying Life Events (QLEs)

Qualifying Life Events (QLEs) qualify you for a Special Enrollment period. You'll be able to make changes to your insurance coverage during this time.

There are 2 different processes for reporting a QLE. Continue reading to learn:

Before you start: What you need to know

We want you to be set up for success! When reporting a QLE, here are some important things to keep in mind:

You can’t report a QLE before it has occurred.

Example: It’s August 1st, and you’re expecting a baby on August 15th. You can’t report a QLE until your baby has been born.
You must report within 30 calendar days of the date the QLE occurred.

Example: Your spouse lost coverage under their insurance plan on August 1st. You want to add them to your insurance plan. You must report the QLE by August 30th.

Note: If you or your dependent(s) lose government provided coverage, you'll have up to 60 calendar days following the loss of coverage to make changes to your benefits elections.
Your carrier will backdate your coverage to the date the QLE occurred.

Example: You get married on August 1st. You want to add your spouse to your insurance plan, but your QLE isn’t approved until September 2nd. Any eligible services your spouse receives after August 1st are eligible for coverage.

You see the message "Your information has been successfully sent! We will reach out with next steps shortly”: This means your HR Admin needs to approve your QLE before you can make changes. They may also ask you to submit documentation to prove your QLE. We’ll send you an email once the HR Admin approves your QLE. Follow the link in the email to access the Enrollment Experience and make changes as necessary.
Your HR Admin doesn’t need to approve your QLE: You’ll be taken straight into the Enrollment Experience. Go through each section and make changes as necessary. If you don’t need to make changes to a section, you can continue to the next one.

Keep in mind:

Once you submit your changes we’ll send them to your insurance carrier.
If you leave the page, your changes will be saved and you can return later to finish (as long as you’re still within the time period when you’re eligible to make changes). We won’t send your changes to the carrier until you submit them.
If your premiums are changing, these changes will be reflected in 1-2 pay periods and will be backdated to the date you experienced the QLE.
- For example, if your premiums are increasing you may be charged extra premiums at first. Why? Because your new benefit elections are backdated to the date you experienced the QLE, you need to make up for any increased premiums you missed before you reported your QLE and your new (higher) premiums started.
- If your premiums are decreasing, you may get a refund. Why? Because your new benefit elections are backdated to the date you experienced the QLE, you may have been paying extra premiums before you reported the QLE and your new (lower) premiums started.
