        Qualified Life Events

        Generally, you may change your benefit elections only during the annual enrollment period. However, you may
        change your benefit elections during the year if you experience a qualifying life event, including:


                                                          ◼  Marriage
                                                          ◼  Divorce or legal separation

                                                          ◼  Birth of your child

                                                          ◼  Death of your spouse or dependent child
                                                          ◼  Adoption of or placement for adoption of your child

                                                          ◼  Change in employment status of employee, spouse, or
                                                             dependent child

                                                          ◼  Qualification by the Plan Administrator of a child support
                                                             order for medical coverage
                                                          ◼  Entitlement to Medicare or Medicaid


        You must notify Benefits within 30 days of the qualifying life event. Depending on the type of event, you may be
        asked to provide proof of the event. If you do not contact Benefits within 30 days of the qualifying event, you will
        have to wait until the next annual enrollment period to make changes.

        *Rates illustrated are non-tobacco rates. The tobacco surcharge is $30/bi-weekly if you/spouse uses tobacco
        products.


        The SpecialtyCare health plan is committed to helping you achieve your best health. All employees have the opportunity to
        avoid the tobacco surcharge. If you think you might be unable to meet the standard for avoiding the tobacco surcharge
        under this wellness program, you might qualify for an opportunity to avoid the surcharge by different means. Please contact
        the Benefits Team, and we will work with you (and,  if you wish, with your doctor).  In addition,  HMSA provides some free
        resources to help. These resources are available on SharePoint in the Benefits Section in the 2023 Open Enrollment folder.
