For Your Information

Life Events - Mid-year changes to your benefits

Except as otherwise provided by law and as stated in the Eligibility Requirements of the Employee Benefits Guide (page 1), you cannot change your pre-tax benefits during the plan year unless you experience a qualifying life event.  Any proposed benefit change must correspond with, and be due to, the type of life event you experience.  

Examples of a qualifying event are:  marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, etc.

All mid-year changes (Life Events) must be reported and completed via PlanSource within 30 days from the date of the event, which includes uploading all required documentation.

Watch a tutorial on how to submit a mid-year change to your benefits through the Benefits Launchpad at My Benefits Launchpad  (You must be logged into the ACPS network to access this page)

Step-by-Step instructions on how to submit a mid-year change to your benefits may be found on page 5 of the Employee Benefits Guide (center).
