Birth / Adoption
The birth or adoption of a child is an exciting and life-changing event. You can make certain benefit changes without waiting for the next Open Enrollment.
What You Need to Do
Make benefit changes no later than 31 days following the birth or adoption of your child on UKG. Otherwise, your next opportunity to enroll your child will be during annual Open Enrollment. From the menu, select the “Myself” tab, then “Life Events.” Changes take effect on the date of birth or placement of your child and are retroactive as long as you submit your changes within 31 days. For example, if the birth or placement occurs April 10 and you make your changes May 5, coverage takes effect April 10.
