Ending long-term relationships involves important decisions. When your divorce is finalized (signed by the judge) or domestic partnership ends, your ex-partner (along with any non-biological or non-adopted children) must be removed from your coverage at the end of the month that event occurs.. Please notify us as soon as your divorce is finalized or your domestic partnership ends and complete the Statement of Dissolution of Marriage/Domestic Partnership(link is external). Even if more than 60 days have passed please still contact us as ineligible dependents may not continue to receive benefits.
