Qualifying Life Event
A Qualifying Life Event allows you to make changes to Medical, Dental, Vision and Flexible Spending Accounts within 30 days of the event. A change in your situation can make you eligible for a special enrollment period, allowing you to make changes in these benefits outside the yearly open enrollment period. You only have 30 days from the date of the life event to complete this process.
