If you add a dependent due to marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption, you have 31 days from the date of the event to add that dependent to your coverage. If you previously waived coverage or did not elect coverage during your initial eligibility period, you can add coverage for you and your other dependents within 31 days of marriage, birth, adoption or placement for adoption.
If the 31 days have passed since your qualifying life event and you have not submitted forms to enroll your dependents in coverage, you will not be able to add your dependents until the next open enrollment period or if you have another qualifying life event.
