Want to enroll your new spouse in A-B's benefits?
Congratulations!
Marriage is a qualifying life event, which means you have 30 days from the date of your marriage to change your benefits and enroll your spouse in coverage.
To update your benefit elections, enter the Benefits Portal using the appropriate link below, click Life Events, submit the Marriage/Domestic Partnership Life Event, add your new spouse as a dependent, make sure to enroll them in specific benefits, then submit your updated elections.
Don’t wait - you only have 30 days from your date of marriage to make benefit changes.
Just the facts
Per IRS and our plan rules, you have 30 days from your date of marriage to submit a life event and enroll your new spouse in coverage. If you miss the 30 day window, your next chance to make changes will be during Annual Enrollment.
- When you submit your Marriage/Domestic Partnership Life Event you will have the opportunity to change some, but not all your elections because of getting married.
- If you have any questions while you attempt to submit your life event or make benefit changes, please contact the HR Service Center at (800) 952-7522.
