QUalified Change in StaTus
Experience A Qualified Change In Status?
Contact Human Resources Benefits
When a life-changing event (qualified change in status) occurs, you may make a mid-year benefit enrollment change to your current coverage without waiting until the annual employee benefits Open Enrollment period.
You must notify Human Resources within 31 days of the event to make a change to your coverage by completing a Request for Qualifying Change in Status form along with providing any required documentation. All forms and required documentation must be emailed to Human Resources Benefits at benefits@csuohio.edu and received within 31 days of the event.
Generally, the following change in status events qualify to make a mid-year enrollment change:
- Marriage or divorce
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Death of a dependent
- Change in spouse’s employment status resulting in a loss of coverage or acquiring new coverage
- Loss of dependent’s eligibility
Obtaining coverage through the ACA Health Insurance Marketplace qualifies as a mid-year change in status permitting you to make a change to your CSU medical coverage outside of CSU’s annual Open Enrollment period.
Please note: Change in status events such as divorce and death require notification to Human Resources to remove dependents from your plans (if applicable) as they are no longer eligible to remain on your coverage. Failure to do so can result in disciplinary action up to and including termination.
