VSP Vision Summary of Coverage

What If Things Change During The Year?

You can't change your coverage during the plan year unless you have a qualified family status change. If you do have a status change, you must submit notification via Employee Navigator within 30 days of the event. Supporting documentation must be sent to Benefit Services. When adding a dependent, documentation will be required.

Required Documentation for Dependents

Qualified family status events include, but are not limited to:

  • Marriage or divorce
  • Birth or legal adoption of a child
  • Legal guardianship
  • Child turns age 26
  • Death of your spouse or a dependent child
  • Loss/gain of insurance coverage by your spouse's employer

Failure to notify the Benefits Office within 30 days of any family status change may result in the following:

  • You will be held responsible for any claims paid for an ineligible dependent
  • Premiums paid for an ineligible depended will not be refunded
