Dependent Day Care Qualifying Life Events
Due to the recent events in our country with COVID-19, if your situation with dependent day care changes and you need to increase or decrease your contributions, you may be eligible to complete a life event in the enrollment system (eBenefits).
Some situations that may qualify:
- Your child starts or stops daycare
- Your daycare costs increase or decrease
- You or your spouse stop working
You have 30 days from the date of an event to make changes to your account. The annual maximum still remains $5000 per household.
To make changes, log into
eBenefits* or contact Benefitfocus at 1-855-859-0966. The "reason for change" would be "Day care change".
*When visiting the eBenefits portal, choose your location on the left and then log in, or log in from the main page. Your work location may have a Single Sign On to eBenefits through your HR portal. If you are not sure or are having trouble, contact your HR office.
