Qualifying Life Events

Major life events that may occur during your employment

Life Events Happen

FCPS understands the life events occur and that you will need support in the form of benefits. Changes to benefits are time-sensitive and the appropriate paperwork must be completed within specified timeframe of the life event. Review the information about different life events for instructions on how to make changes to your benefits. If you wish to make changes to your benefits but have not experienced a qualifying event, you may request the changes during the annual open enrollment period (typically held in the fall), with an effective date of January 1.

What To Do If You Experience a Life Event

You may experience life events (or qualifying events) during your employment with FCPS requiring you to need to change you benefits.
