State and federal regulations prohibit additions, changes or cancellations of enrollment in pre-tax benefit plans unless an enrollee experiences a certain type of change known as a “Qualifying Status Change event,” or “QSC.”
Qualifying Status Changes
Qualifying Status Change events include such events as a change in employment status (e.g., beginning employment with a new employer or terminating employment), a loss of insurance coverage and certain changes in personal status (e.g., marriage, having children or acquiring new dependents).
Note: Most changes must be made within 60 days after the event has occurred. After the 60 day deadline, employees must wait until the annual open enrollment period to make the necessary changes.
For assistance with changes and to determine eligibility, please contact the PeopleFirst Service Center at 1-866-663-4735.
