Report Qualifying Life Events (QLEs)

It’s important to let us know when you experience a Qualifying Life Event (QLE), to ensure you have the right coverage for yourself and your loved ones. Depending on the QLE, you may be eligible to make changes to your dependents and benefit selections.

There are a few different processes for reporting a QLE, and the process you follow is defined by your employer. This article will explain the process for reporting a QLE directly in your League account.

Before you start:

  • There are a few different ways to report a QLE. If you’re not sure this is the process you should follow, read this article to learn more about each process.

  • If you’re eligible to make changes to your benefit selections, keep in mind you may be able to change some selections and not others.

  • Your HR Admin may need to approve your QLE before you can make changes to your dependents and benefit selections.

If you see this page:

  • You can edit your dependents and benefit selections in the Enrollment Experience. After you report your QLE (and receive approval from your HR Admin, if applicable) you’ll be taken straight into the Enrollment Experience.

  • Go through each section and make changes as necessary. If you don’t need to make changes to a section, you can continue to the next one.

Keep in mind:

  • Once you submit your changes we’ll send them to your insurance carrier.

  • If you leave the page, your changes will be saved and you can return later to finish (as long as you’re still within the time period when you’re eligible to make changes). We won’t send your changes to the carrier until you submit them.
