Change of Name or Address
If there is a change in your name or address, please print and fill out this enrollment form and check the “Change” box on the top. You only need to fill out the top portion of the form and sign and date the bottom. If you are changing your name you will also need to fill out a new life insurance form as well. Return completed form(s) to your building representative.
Change in Life Insurance
If you are changing your name or would like to make a change in your beneficiaries, please print and fill out this life insurance form. When you have completed the form, give it to your building representative.
Changing Between Family and Individual Coverage
Open enrollment period is during the month of September for each school year. If you are interested in changing your coverage it must be done at that time. Only people with “a change in family status” may make changes to their coverage outside of the open enrollment period. A change in family status is when a dependent needs to be added or removed due to death, marriage, divorce, birth, or adoption. Changes must be made within 90 days of the event. To change your existing coverage, complete the appropriate forms (Dental Form and Vision Form). You must also fill out a Payroll Deduction Form. If you need assistance with any of these forms, contact one of the Trustees. When you have completed all of the forms, give them to your building representative.
College Student Waiver
If you have family coverage for dental and/or vision with a dependent between the ages of 18 and 25 that is a full time college student you need to submit a College Student Waiver form. This form needs to be resubmitted every semester.
