Having a Baby / Adopting a Child
If you have a baby or adopt a child, you may need to review and compare the benefit plans that are available to you. In this section, you will find information about benefits coverage and election changes that may be helpful to you, as an eligible employee.
The IRS allows you to pay for certain benefits on a before-tax basis providing you with a tax savings on the cost of coverage. In return for this tax savings, the IRS restricts your ability to make changes to before-tax benefits.
Your before-tax benefit elections must remain in effect throughout the calendar year unless you have a qualified family status change that necessitates a coverage change. The change in your benefits cover- age must be due to and consistent with the qualified family status change.
