Do I need to keep my plan administrator?
Yes. In order to protect your family’s rights, you should keep your benefits coordinator informed of any changes in your address and the addresses of family members. If you elect continuation coverage, you are directly responsible for notifying your benefits coordinator in writing of divorce, legal separation, or a child losing dependent status within 60 days after the qualifying event occurs. Also, when you experience a qualifying event such as birth or adoption of a child, or marriage, you must notify the benefits coordinator in writing within 30 days after the qualifying event occurs. You must send this notice in writing to the benefits coordinator. Failure to do so will result in the spouse/child not being added to the coverage. You should include the name, address, daytime telephone number, Social Security number, and/or Participant ID, explain the type of qualifying event and the qualifying event date. You should also keep a copy, for your records, of any communications you sent to us.
