I am getting married soon. Can I add my new spouse and/or stepchild(ren) to my coverage or do I have to wait until there is an open enrollment period?
You have within 60 days after the date of marriage to add your spouse and/or stepchild(ren) to your health and/or dental coverage. After 60 days, you can add them during the annual open enrollment period or through a “special enrollment” or “late enrollment” event. The latter applies to health coverage only. You must provide a copy of your marriage certificate as well as your spouse’s social security number and sign the appropriate document(s) prior to the coverage going into effect.
