Making Changes to Benefits
To cover your domestic partner, you will need to complete an Affidavit of Eligible Family Membership. Once your Affidavit of Eligible Family Membership is completed and processed, you may cover the dependent child(ren) of your spouse or domestic partner.
You will then have 30 calendar days to change your benefits coverage by accessing PeopleLink (www.mmcpeoplelink.com). Select the Health tab and under Medical Plans or Dental Plan click any plan. Then go to Take Action in the right navigation bar and select Enroll, view, change benefits.
