Qualifying Life Events

The benefits you elect for the 2024 plan year during your enrollment period cannot be changed unless you have a Qualifying Life Event. If you or your dependent(s) have a Qualifying Life Event, you must notify the Benefits Service Center online or by phone within 30 days of the event. Qualifying Life Events are generally effective the first of the month following the event, with the exception of the birth of child. Be sure to include your required life event and dependent verification documents.

Qualifying Life Events Include:
  • Marriage or divorce
  • Death of a spouse or dependent
  • Gain or loss of custody of a child
  • Change in a spouse's employment status that causes a loss or gain in medical, dental or vision coverage for you and your dependents
  • Change in your employment status
  • You or your dependents become eligible for Medicare/Medicaid
  • Newborns Must Be Added to Your Coverage

Coverage for newborns begins on the date of the child's birth. To add a newborn to your coverage, you must notify the Benefits Service Center by contacting 855.874.6792 or through the Benefits Enrollment System within 30 days of the birth. For birth or adoption information details, refer to the Summary Plan Description (SPD) available on the Reference Center. If you do not fulfill this notification requirement, you must wait for 2025 Annual Enrollment to make changes unless you experience a new, Qualifying Life Event.

Eligibility and Surcharges

New Hire and Newly Eligible Employees

To take advantage of all CHS MyLife Benefits has to offer, you must enroll within 30 days of your effective date of coverage. Log into the Benefits Enrollment System and follow the login prompts to get started. New hire coverage begins on the first day of the month following employment. Newly Eligible coverage also begins on the first day of the month following change in status.

If you are a new hire/newly eligible employee and you DO NOT enroll, you will be automatically enrolled in only those benefits fully paid by your employer. All full-time employees eligible for the Voluntary Long-Term Disability program will also be automatically enrolled.

Note: Eligible employees must be regularly scheduled to work a minimum of 20 hours per week. New hire/newly eligible coverage begins the first day of the month following employment or the date of the status change.

Surcharges

Please take action during enrollment to certify these surcharges below.*

Tobacco/Nicotine Surcharge

Tobacco and nicotine use is the leading cause of preventable death and disease in the U.S. To promote the health of our employees, if you or your spouse are enrolled in the CHS MyLife Benefits Medical Plan and use tobacco or nicotine products, you will pay a surcharge each pay period. You may be able to receive a refund for this surcharge by completing a free Tobacco Cessation Program.

Spousal Medical Coverage Surcharge

If your spouse has the option to elect medical coverage through their employer, but is enrolled in the CHS MyLife Benefits Medical Plan, you will pay a surcharge each pay period.

Legal Spouse and Dependent Verification Requirements

If you add dependents to your medical plan, you are required to submit documentation that verifies the dependent meets the plan's eligibility requirements. Dependent verification documentation must be received within 45 days of your enrollment date or the Annual Enrollment deadline. If not received by the deadline, your dependents will not be covered and will not be eligible to be added to your benefits until the next Annual Enrollment period or when a Qualifying Life Event occurs.
