Adding Your Spouse to Your Insurance Plan

If you recently got married, you can add your spouse to your insurance plan by reporting a Qualified Life Event (QLE) on the Munis Employee Self Service (ESS) system. You will need to upload a copy of your marriage certificate. Make sure to report and upload all necessary documents within 30 days of your marriage date. If you miss this period, you will have to wait until open enrollment to add your spouse.

Removing Your Ex-Spouse from Your Insurance Plan

If you are legally separated or your divorce has been finalized, you must report a QLE on the Munis ESS System to remove your ex-spouse from your insurance plan. You will need to upload a copy of your official divorce decree or court documents.

Adding Your Newborn to Your Insurance Plan

To add your newborn, you must report a QLE on the Munis ESS System and upload a copy of the birth notice (often a certificate with your newborn's footprints). This must be done within 30 days of your baby's birth date. If you miss the deadline, you will have to wait until open enrollment. The social security number for your newborn can be provided later to the benefits department once received.

Adding a Dependent Who Lost Insurance Coverage

If your dependent has lost insurance coverage, you can add them to the city's plan by reporting a QLE on the Munis ESS System. You will need to upload a letter from the employer or insurance carrier stating their name, the benefits they were enrolled in, and the date the coverage ended. This must be done within 30 days of the coverage ending.

Removing a Dependent with New Insurance Coverage

If your dependent now has other insurance coverage, you can remove them from your plan by reporting a QLE on the Munis ESS System. Upload a letter from the employer or insurance carrier stating their name, the benefits they are now enrolled in, and the date the coverage began. Report and upload all documents within 30 days of the new coverage start date.
