You have 31 days from the date of divorce, legal separation, or dissolution of your domestic partnership to make any allowed changes to your benefits.

You can initiate changes online at Benefits4MeEnroll > I Want to > Learn About > Getting a Divorce.

Allowed changes include: 

If you have any questions about your benefits, contact Included Health.

Note: Union employees should consult their collective bargaining agreement for information about the benefits available.

If you were enrolled in your ex-spouse or domestic partner’s health benefits, review how our benefits compare with those offered through the COBRA coverage that may be available to you through their employer. COBRA lets you continue your coverage for a specific period of time (typically 18 months). You’ll be responsible for paying 102% of the total cost. However, if your divorce or dissolution occurs mid-year, COBRA honors any amounts you’ve incurred toward your annual deductible and out-of-pocket maximum.

If your ex-spouse or domestic partner is covered through one of our medical plans, eligibility for our employer-provided coverage will end as of the end of the month of your divorce date. They may be eligible to continue coverage by enrolling through COBRA. If your ex-spouse or domestic partner has additional options for health coverage, they will want to compare those options and costs with what’s available through COBRA.

Be sure to notify Benefits4Me at benefits4meenroll.com or call 844-279-7894 of your divorce, legal separation, or dissolution, and your ex-spouse or domestic partner will be notified about their right to elect COBRA. Update your ex-spouse’s or domestic partner’s address at Benefits4MeEnroll.com to ensure that COBRA information is sent to the correct location.

If you do not notify Benefits4Me of your divorce, legal separation, or dissolution and drop your ex-spouse or domestic partner from coverage, you may be responsible for paying any claims they incur after the split is finalized.

A Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO) is a federal law that gives children the right to receive benefits under group health plans. A QMCSO allows a custodial parent (the parent who has the child most of the time), who is not an employee of our organization, to obtain our health insurance for the child under the plan the non-custodial parent has with us.

A QMCSO is usually obtained via court order as part of the legal process associated with your divorce, legal separation, or dissolution. If this applies to your situation, once we receive the order, we will comply with its requirements. If you have any questions, a description of the procedures governing QMCSOs is available to you at no charge. Visit Benefits4MeEnroll.com for more information.

A Qualified Domestic Relations Order (QDRO) is a judgment as part of a divorce agreement that requires a retirement plan to pay child support, alimony, or marital property rights to an ex-spouse, child, or other dependent. If you have questions about or need assistance with filing a QDRO, contact our partners at QDRO Consultants through www.qdros.com.
