** 31-Day Rule for Benefits Enrollment: Employees who experience a Life Event (marriage, birth, or adoption) have 31 days from the event date to add the new dependent to the health plan. If the dependent is not added within the 31-day period the employee must wait until Annual Open Enrollment to add new dependents. The 31-day period also applies to removing a divorced spouse as a dependent.
