- Medicaid or a Children’s Health Insurance Program
If you have a life status change event, you must report the change to your human resource department within 30 days of the event if you want to change coverage. Changes will be effective on the day of the event. If you do not make your changes during the 30-day change-in-status period, your changes cannot be made until the next Open Enrollment period.
