Evidence of Insurability

Life Events
You can change your coverage each year during Annual Enrollment. After Annual Enrollment, the only time you can change your coverage is if you experience a Qualified Life Event, such as:
- Marriage
- Divorce or legal separation
- Commencement or termination of a domestic partnership
- Birth or adoption of a child
- Commencement or termination of your spouse or dependents employment (with benefits)
You can make benefit election changes resulting from a Qualified Life Event online by logging on to My TE Benefits Connection.
If you do not make changes within 31 days* of the qualifying event, you cannot change your health and welfare benefits until the next Annual Enrollment period.
*60 days for birth/adoption or Medicaid eligibility.
