Changes After Enrollment

At Mines, we know that life changes, and when it does, your benefits may need to change too!  Employees can make midyear benefit changes when they experience a qualifying life event.

Qualifying Life Event

Qualifying events that may allow for changes outside of your new hire eligibility period or the annual Open Enrollment period include:

• A marriage, common-law marriage, civil union, divorce, or legal separation.
• The death of a spouse or other dependent.
• The birth or adoption of a child.
• You or your spouse experiencing a change in work hours that affects benefits eligibility.
• Loss or gain of a spouse’s coverage through their employer.

Mid-Year Changes

Mid-Year Changes, or changes outside of your new hire window, or the annual open enrollment window, can be made only when a qualifying life event has occurred.

Mid-year changes due to a Qualifying Life Event, must be made in BenefitSolver within 31 days of the event.  Required supporting documentation must be provided within 45 days from the date of event.  To learn more about mid-year changes, please visit the state’s website by going to Eligibility and Enrollment>Make Changes During the Plan Year (tabs on the top of the page).
