Q: Can I change my benefits throughout the year?
A: You may only change your benefit elections during the annual open enrollment period unless you experience a qualifying life event (QLE).

Qualifying Life Event

Q: What is a qualifying Life event? (QLE)

A: A qualifying life event is a change in your situation such as getting married, having a baby, or losing health coverage that can make you eligible for a special enrollment period, which may allow you to enroll in health insurance outside the yearly open enrollment period.  At this time you may also be eligible to enroll in voluntary plans such as life insurance and AFLAC plans.

You have 30 days from the qualifying life event date (date of marriage, newborn’s date of birth, etc.) to login to Workday to make this change. 

Q: My spouse or child is gaining/losing benefits, can I add or remove them from my ILG plan?

A: Yes, you can initiate a life event by logging into Workday and clicking on the Benefits Worklet on the home page and selecting the benefit event type that corresponds to your situation and entering the event date and hit SUBMIT.  You will then be guided through the remainder of the screens.  If you need more guidance you can refer to the Workday Job Aids on the Workday home page.

Q: What documents do I need to upload into Workday for a QLE?

A: You will need to attach documents in Workday that provide proof of eligibility for your dependents to be added or dropped from ILG’s plan.  See below for a sample document list based on common Qualifying Life Events (QLE).

 

  • Marriage – Marriage Certificate showing names and date of marriage
  • Birth/Adoption – Birth document from the hospital showing date of birth, gender (for newborns this does not need to be the birth certificate, since that can take more than 30 days to receive)
  • EE/Spouse/Dependent Gains coverage (to remove them from ILG benefits) Document from insurance company showing date of new coverage and name of person(s) covered
  • EE/Spouse/Dependent Loses coverage – Marriage Certificates, Birth document, and a document showing spouse/dependent lost coverage and date they lost coverage, etc.
