Loss of a Loved One

Losing a loved one can be overwhelming. Here’s a checklist of the benefit changes you might want to consider and some other resources to help you through the process.

Benefit Changes

Changes and elections for most of the VMware benefit plans are made at annual enrollment; however, the loss of a loved one is considered a Qualified Life Event. You must make changes within 30 days of the date of the Qualified Life Event. You are eligible to make the following changes:

• Remove eligible dependents from your Health Insurance by notifying HR Source and update the information in Workday > Personal Information > Dependents [VMware network access required].
• Update beneficiary details by contacting HR Source [VMware network access required]

Updating Personal Information

• If you need to update your marital status and/or your legal name, you will need to contact HR Source [VMware network access required].

Time Away

Whether expected or unexpected, the death of a loved one creates a wide range of emotions and life changes that must be addressed. Planning time away from work to grieve after the loss of a loved one is an important consideration. Be sure to review the Bereavement Leave eligibility requirements.
