Change Your Benefits

• Birth
• Adoption
• Legal Guardianship of Dependent Child(ren)
• Court Order to Add Dependent Child(ren)
• Loss of Other Coverage for Employee and/or Dependents

You may remove dependents from benefits due to the following events:

• Access to Other Coverage for Employee and/or Dependents
• Death Event for Employee's Spouse or Child
