Making changes to benefits due to life changes

New child in your family?

Health insurance

Adding a newborn or newly placed child to Trident's health plan is not automatic. To enroll your new child you will have 60 days from your child's date of birth or placement. Review the instructions under two steps to a life status event (to the left) on how to add your new child to Trident insurance.

Dependent Care FSA

The Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account (DCFSA) allows you to set aside a maximum of $5,000 per calendar year on a pre-tax basis to pay for eligible dependent care expenses for qualified dependent children. You may elect this benefit within 60 days of your child's date of birth or placement (using Ceridian); OR within 30 days of returning from parental leave or a significant change in cost of care of your new child. See "2024 Navia Dep Care FSA Enrollment Kit" below for further details.

Making Changes: Adding or Dropping Benefits

QUALIFYING EVENTS You may enroll in benefits during the annual Open Enrollment period, after completing your new hire eligibility period or within 30 days of an eligible Life Status Event. You can add coverage, drop coverage or make changes to your benefit elections outside the Open Enrollment period if you have an eligible Life Status Event. Examples of these events include:

Marriage, Divorce or Legal Separation
Birth or Adoption of a child
Death of your spouse or covered child
Change in your work status or your spouse’s work status that impacts benefits eligibility, including voluntary termination, layoff, strike or unpaid leave of absence
Change in your child’s eligibility for benefits
A significant change in the cost of day care expenses (for the Dependent Care Flexible Spending Account)
You or a dependent becomes eligible for Medicare, Medicaid or the Children’s Health Insurance Program (CHIP)
Receiving a Qualified Medical Child Support Order (QMCSO)

HOW TO REQUEST A LIFE STATUS EVENT (LSE)

Log into Ceridian
Click on “Benefits” and then “Forms”
Select “Life Event Declaration” 4. Complete the declaration and submit.

Once the benefits department reviews your declaration and all requirements have been met, a benefit enrollment will be made available. The enrollment must be completed and submitted before any changes will be made.

Note: A LSE is a two step process. Submitting a declaration does not make changes to your current enrollment
