Life Events (Family Status Change)

For all of us, life is a continuing process of change—marriage, birth, adoption, new job, divorce and death. These major changes are called life events.

When one of these major events occurs in your life, you will need to rethink and, possibly, make changes to certain benefits, such as health insurance (medical, dental and vision), life insurance, BamaFlex participation, and retirement.

Be aware that some changes can only be made within 30 days of the life event. Changes not made within the 30-day time frame may result in coverage not being changed until the annual open enrollment period. Open enrollment is held each year in November and changes made during this time are effective January 1st of the upcoming year.
