...If You Get Married Or Add A Child To Your Family*

Medical / Vision

You may enroll your new dependent(s) in the same FlexSolutions Medical Plan in which you are enrolled; or, if you get married and you can be covered under your spouse's/domestic partner's employer's plan, you may drop coverage (as long as you provide proof of your other group coverage). Keep in mind that vision coverage is provided only to those enrolled in a FlexSolutions Medical Plan.

Dental

You may enroll your new dependent(s) in the same FlexSolutions Dental Plan in which you are enrolled; or, if you get married and you can be covered under your spouse's/domestic partner's employer's plan, you may drop coverage (as long as you provide proof of your other group coverage).

Reimbursement Accounts

If you have a new child, you may want to consider enrolling in or increasing your contributions to the Dependent Care Reimbursement Account (DCRA). If you get married, you may also want to adjust your DCRA election. You may not change your Health Care Reimbursement Account election until the next Open Enrollment.

Survivor Benefits

Review your life insurance needs. Is your current level of coverage adequate? Do you need coverage for your new spouse/domestic partner or child? Check your beneficiary designations, too, to determine whether they should be changed.

You may not change your Accidental Death & Dismemberment (AD&D) coverage at this time; you must wait until the next Open Enrollment.

If your new dependent is a child and you already have elected Dependent Life Insurance coverage for a child or children, your new child will be covered as long as you notify A&B of the child's arrival within 31 days.

Disability Benefits

You may not change Long-Term Disability (LTD) coverage at this time; however, you can increase your coverage by one level during the next Open Enrollment.

Time Off Benefits

If your new dependent is a child, you may be eligible for an unpaid leave under the Family and Medical Leave Act (FMLA). See your HR representative for more information.

Retirement Benefits

Review your beneficiary designations for all of your retirement plans. Note: To name someone other than your spouse as the sole beneficiary of any of your retirement benefits, you must obtain your spouse's notarized consent.
