Getting divorced or ending a domestic partnership

Getting divorced or ending a domestic partnership

As you navigate this challenging time in your life, here’s what you need to know and do when it comes to your benefits - including resources to support you and your family.

Getting divorced or ending a domestic partnership is considered a qualifying life event, an event that affects your benefits coverage or the coverage of your dependents. This means that you can elect new coverage or make changes to your current benefits coverage within 30 days of the event. If you miss the 30-day deadline, you’ll have to wait until the next Open Enrollment period or another qualifying life event to make changes.
