Sometimes life changes, and your benefits should be able to change with it. If you experience a Qualifying Life Event (also known as a QLE), you may be eligible to update your benefit elections outside of Open Enrollment.
Click through the examples below to learn what counts as a QLE and what documentation you’ll need.
When you get married or enter into a domestic partnership, you can add your spouse or partner to your benefits.
Marriage certificate or domestic partnership affidavit / proof of marriage.
Submit changes within 30 days of the event
When you welcome your new family member, you can add your child to your coverage.
Birth certificate, hospital documentation, or adoption papers.
Submit changes within 30 days of the event
Sometimes your work status, or your dependent’s status, changes, and that can affect your benefits. If you or a dependent become newly eligible or lose eligibility due to a change in hours, role, or location, you may qualify for a special enrollment window.
If you experience a divorce or legal separation, you will have the opportunity to remove your former spouse or partner from your coverage.
Divorce decree or legal separation documents.
Submit changes within 30 days of the event
Submit your qualifying life event in Workday, along with supporting documentation, within 30 days of your life event. If you have any questions, email benefits@irhythmtech.com.
