Employment Changes

How changes in your work status affect your benefits

There are several employment changes that are recognized as qualifying life events, including leaving your position at the university, taking a leave of absence, or moving from a full to part-time position.

If your spouse recently gained or you lost non-IU health insurance, you also have the option to change your benefits outside of the open enrollment window.
