Typically if an employee wants to make changes to a benefit plan, those changes can only be made during the annual Open Enrollment period. Exceptions are made for employees who experience a family or employment status change during the year. According to IRS regulations, if an employee experiences a qualifying status change, they may change their medical, dental, vision, flexible spending accounts, and/or life insurance benefits within 30 days of that qualifying change.
