You Have a Job Change Where You Lose a Significant Share of Employer Contribution Toward Your Coverage (Active Employees Only)

For All Programs

As an active employee, you have a decrease of 5% or more in your employer's contribution toward your health insurance. This life event does not apply to retirees or survivors.

For Active Employees

In the table(s) below, supplemental benefits refer to supplemental dental insurance (Select, Select Plus, and Preventive), vision insurance, and Accident Plan. You may not be eligible for all supplemental benefits. Visit the Dental Insurance, Vision Insurance, and Accident Plan pages to learn about eligibility.

There are no employer contributions for supplemental plans, but an increase in health insurance costs reduces net compensation available to pay for supplemental plans.
