Can an employee add a spouse and/or children to their policy?
If family members did not enroll in the health insurance plan when the employee was first enrolled, a spouse or children can be added during Open Enrollment or if there has been a qualifying event. Examples of a qualifying event include: marriage, birth/adoption of a child, divorce, change in insurance status etc.
