Family Status Changes
Have you or will you experience a family status change this year? Family status changes including marriage, divorce, birth, adoption, death of a spouse/child, marriage of a dependent child, etc., must be reported to the Human Resources Department no later than 30 days after the event. Proper notification ensures accurate enrollment in the various benefits plans (medical, dental, etc.) for new spouse or baby; prompt removal of those you no longer wish to cover; and correct deduction from your paycheck for the associated plan type (single, two, family). Any family changes you experience makes it a good time to review your beneficiaries and bring them up to date for life insurance, retirement plan, and final paycheck.
