Life Events
New baby? New marriage? For each of life’s big moments, your benefits have your back.
Certain events in life may affect your benefits. If you experience a qualified life event, be sure to request benefit changes within 30 days of the event. If you miss the deadline, your current elections will remain until the next Open Enrollment.
To request changes, go to Dayforce to complete the “Life Event Declaration Form” (Benefits > Forms):
- Provide the required supporting documentation for your qualified event within 30 days.
- You will receive a notification through Dayforce once your request has been approved or denied. If approved, you can make changes to your benefit elections.
- In most cases, any changes you make are effective as of the date of the life event.
Marriage or divorce
Here are some things to think about if you are getting married or divorced.
Expanding your family
Welcoming a child into your life is something to celebrate, whether it’s through birth, adoption, or placement/guardianship.
Losing a loved one
No one wants to think about the death of a loved one, but it’s important to know how your benefits will be affected.
Change in employment
If you or your spouse has a change in employment status, you may have some important decisions to make.
Change in child eligibility status
When your child reaches a certain age, gets married, or attends school, their benefit eligibility may change.
Change in residence
If you’re moving, it’s important to consider if your new residence is outside of your plan’s coverage area. Be sure to let Caleres know your new address.
