Divorce or Separation

If your marital or domestic partnership status is changing, 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, a divorce, legal separation or dissolution of domestic partnership 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:

Add, remove or enroll yourself and eligible dependents in Medical, Dental, Vision
Add, increase, decrease or stop a Health Savings Account (HSA) contribution
Add, increase or stop a Flexible Spending Account (FSA)
Add, increase, decrease or stop Supplemental Employee, Spouse and/or Child Life Insurance
Update beneficiary information with your HSA, 401(k) Plan, Life Insurance [VMware network access required]and/or Stock Plans
