Life Events and Special Enrollments (bswift direct users only)For employers using bswift, enrollment changes can be processed in bswift through Life Events or Special Enrollments. Life Events are configured in bswift to only allow changes for an employee up to 30 days. Special Enrollments should only be initiated when the 31-day window has passed but the change is still within 45 days. Instructions on completing a Special Enrollment can be found in the online copy of the BA Manager Guide.1. When an employee experiences a qualifying life event to make a mid-year change to benefits coverage (such as a Marriage, Divorce, or Newborn event), that employee has the ability to create and save a life event directly on bswift. Benefits Administrators may create and save a life event on an employee%u2019s behalf by navigating to Life Events on the Employee Home Page. From the user record, click Impersonate User (see Impersonate User section for more information).2. Choose the applicable event from the Life Event panel on the Employee Home Page. Click All other Life Events to see all options. From here, you may choose and create a life event, or you can view any life events previously saved to a user record.3. Enter the effective date of the life event in the field for Enter a date. If the life event effective date is more than 31 days ago (unless it is a Medicaid, CHIP or HIPP event which allows for 60 days), the system will show a warning that the Life Event Date is out of bounds.4. You will be taken to the Enrollment Page where you can complete and save the enrollment event on the employee%u2019s behalf. Make any applicable changes for the employee.5. Review and confirm changes. Scroll to the bottom of the page and check the box for I agree, and I%u2019m finished with my enrollment. Then, click Complete Enrollment.6. Exit impersonation of the employee. Click Pending Enrollments on the left-hand navigation pane. Click approve and save the record.Deleting a life event or special enrollment does not remove or undo the changes already saved. For example, if a life event was saved with an incorrect effective date and the employee or Benefits Administrator already saved changes with the incorrect date, the incorrect changes will remain in place even if the life event is deleted.62 www.bcbstx.com/trsactivecareba
