Qualified Life Events

What are Qualified Life Events?

Qualified Life Events (QLEs) could allow you to change your coverage during the plan year. When a QLE occurs, you have 30 days to request changes to your coverage. Your change in coverage must be consistent with your change in status.

Common QLEs include:

• A change in the number of dependents
• A change in your or your spouse’s employment status
• A change in your legal marital status
• Eligibility for Medicare
• Changes in address
• Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid
