Learn more about special open enrollments
Certain life events trigger a special open enrollment, which allows school employees to make changes in their coverage outside of the SEBB Program’s annual open enrollment.
Changes must be allowable, correspond to, and be consistent with the event that created the special open enrollment. Check the special open enrollment matrix for details on which options are available during specific circumstances.
The employee must submit their changes, proof of their qualifying special open enrollment event, and dependent verification documents (if adding a dependent) no later than 60 days from the date of the event. Generally, the change will be effective the first of the month after the date of the event or the date your payroll or benefits office receives your completed online enrollment or form, whichever is later. If that day is the first of the month, coverage begins on that day.
You can learn more about how to verify enrollments and administer these changes in SEBB My Account in Chapter 3 of the SEBB My Account training manual. Employees can learn more on our Change your coverage webpage and in the School Employee Enrollment Guide.
