The benefit elections you make will remain in effect until the end of the plan year, unless you are affected by one of these life changing events:

• Getting married or divorced,
• A change in job status (for you or an enrolled dependent),
• Having a baby or adopting a child, or
• An enrolled child turning 26.

If you experience any of these qualifying events, you must provide the required supporting documentation and make changes within 30 days of the event.

1. Login to www.benefitsolver.com.
2. Click on the ‘Start Here’ button to change your benefits or your basic information.
3. Select the life event button and make your changes.

All life events must be completed within 30 days of the date of the life event date.   Please see Proof of Eligibility for documentation required to complete your life event. Documentation must be submitted to Benefits Office within 30 days of the life event.

Outside of the Annual Open Enrollment Period, you can enroll in the West Chester Area School District’s Benefit Program, change your enrollment, or cancel coverage only if you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE).

What is a QLE?

A change in your situation - such as getting married, having a baby, or losing health coverage - that can make you eligible for a Special Enrollment Period, allowing you to enroll in health insurance outside the District’s annual Open Enrollment Period. Below are examples of QLEs.

• Birth/Adoption/Gaining a Dependent through a Qualified Medical Support Court Order (QMSCO)
• Marriage
• Divorce or Legal Separation
• Death of the Policyholder
• Involuntary Loss of Employer Sponsored Coverage or Medicaid Coverage
• Exhaustion of COBRA
   

What do I do if I have a QLE?

Employees must notify Human Resources within 30 days of the QLE and provide proof of the QLE to Human Resources.

When will the change become effective?

The effective date of the change will reflect the date of the Qualifying Event. For example, if you have a baby born on August 1st and you notify Human Resources of the change on August 15th, the benefit effective date of the change will be August 1st. Please be prepared to provide documentation of the Qualifying Event to Human Resources.
