HR Fast Facts: Why Do Employees Need to Provide Proof of a Qualifying Live Event?
When enrolling in health insurance coverage due to a qualifying life event (QLE), documentation is needed to prove the date of the QLE. Proof documents are official documents directly related to the event.
For example:
- Certificate of Creditable Coverage (COCC)
- Marriage Certificate
- Birth Certificate
- Notice of birth from the hospital
- Domestic partner affidavit
The image must be clear and legible. Key dates must be included in the uploaded document.
For example:
- Date of loss of coverage
- Marriage date
- Date of birth
If you have questions on what is considered acceptable documentation, contact your broker.
