I am getting married soon. Can I add my new spouse and/or stepchildren to my coverage, or do I have to wait until there is an open enrollment period?
A. You do have 60 days from the date of marriage to add your spouse and/or stepchildren to your health, dental, and vision coverage. After 60 days, “special enrollment” or “late enrollment” criteria may apply for health coverage, and late enrollees (after 31 days of event date) for dental or vision may be subject to waiting periods for coverage. You must contact the Benefits Coordinator to complete the appropriate documents and be able to provide a marriage certificate.
