Yes, unless you, or your dependent, have had a qualifying life status change (marriage, divorce, birth, death). If you have not had a qualifying life status change, the only thing you can do is withdraw from your benefits, however, you will not be able to re-enroll until Open Enrollment for the next year. Additionally, if you withdraw from medical insurance, you need to provide proof of medical insurance coverage elsewhere. Alternatively, if you have had a qualifying life status change, you will need to come to the Human Resources office to complete all of the necessary paperwork and you will need to bring documentation with you at that time (ie: marriage certificate; birth certificate, divorce decree, etc). Please refer to the City of Concord's Beneflex Program booklet for specific details.
