When You Have a Change in Status

Life happens and sometimes you need to make benefit changes outside of your initial enrolment. If you experience a qualifying life event, you have 31 days to make changes to your benefits. The changes you make must be consistent with the event. Contact Team Member Services at 1-855-432-MIKE(6453) if you have a qualifying life event.

Qualifying Life Events

  • Change in employment status, such as part-time to full-time
  • Birth, adoption or death of a child (if this causes a change in coverage status)

  • Gain/loss of Extended Health and/or Dental benefit coverage for you or a dependant
