Qualifying Life Events
In general, you may only make or change your existing benefit elections as a new hire or during the annual open enrollment period. However, you may change your benefit elections during the year if you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE) such as:
- Marriage, divorce, or legal separation
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Loss or gain of other coverage by the employee or dependent
- Eligibility for Medicare or Medicaid
If you have a qualifying life event, notify the Benefits Service Center of the event and your new elections. You must also provide the necessary supporting documentation, such as a marriage license, birth certificate, etc. to the Benefits Service Center via fax at (866) 597-2202 or via email at help@evidentbenefits.com within 30 days of the change. If you do not do so within 30 days, you must wait until the next open enrollment period to make any benefit plan changes (unless you experience another Qualifying Life Event).
Surcharges
Spousal and Tobacco Surcharge
If your spouse/qualified domestic partner is employed or self-employed and is eligible to enroll in his/her employer’s group medical plan and you choose to cover him/her in an Evident Scientific sponsored medical plan, then the spousal surcharge may apply to you. The spousal surcharge is a per-pay-period charge that you will pay in addition to your regular medical employee contribution. The surcharge does not apply to coverage under the dental or vision plans.
The spousal surcharge is based upon your annual pay or, if you receive commission, upon your Annual Benefits Base Rate (ABBR). The spousal surcharge is spread throughout the year and added to the total per-pay-period medical deduction.
Important Notice if You Use Nicotine/Tobacco
Going nicotine- and tobacco-free is one of the most important steps you can take to maintain good health. A nicotine/tobacco surcharge applies to employees, spouses, and domestic partners who use tobacco products and participate in any health plan sponsored by Evident Scientific. The surcharge is $20 biweekly per person, or $40 if both you and your spouse/domestic partner use these products. Upon enrolling in the health plan, you will be asked to attest to your nicotine/tobacco usage. Your nicotine/tobacco status also impacts the rate you pay for Voluntary Life Insurance.
