Life Changes

Explore how life changes can impact your benefits, too.

Major life changes can impact all of us in so many different ways—including our healthcare and financial benefits. Take time to explore how big changes in your life—like getting married, having a baby, adopting a child, retiring and others—can also affect your healthcare, insurance and other benefits coverage and decisions.

A rule of thumb: it’s good information to know.
