Can a Health Insurance Application/Change Form (ET-2301) be signed prior to the actual event that will create an enrollment opportunity?
Typically the event should occur at the time the application is completed and submitted. Signing and submitting a Health Insurance Application prior to the event could cause unnecessary problems if the event doesn’t actually take place, for example. However, there are instances where the application can be completed and submitted to the employer prior to the actual qualifying event. For example, an employer may include the Health Insurance Application/Change Form with other ‘new employee’ materials and the employee asked to complete it in advance of the employer share of contribution commencing.
